Unity and
Universality
The statement that Truth is only one does not mean that Truth has only one name or name or
can be expressed in a single formulation. It is not a statement of limitation or
qualification on Truth. That Truth is one also means that it is universal, innate in all
beings and inherent in all existence. Truth is both one and infinite, which means beyond
all boundaries and definitions. It cannot be circumscribed by any belief, idea or
personality, however great these may be.
That Truth is only one also means Truth has any number of formulations or expressions and
cannot be reduced to any single one of them. The unity of Truth is an inclusive unity, not
an exclusive singularity which cannot accept anything but itself. Truth is not one thing
opposed to another but that which transcends and includes within itself all things.
Truth is like the ocean which can accept all streams
without being increased or decreased. To uphold the unity of Truth correctly we must
affirm its infinity and universality and not limit it to any human formulation. Truth is
not a thing of the marketplace, nor some form of information, someone's opinion, or any
form of dogma or propaganda. It is found in the nature of existence, and cannot be reduced
to any external form or expression. It transcends all organizations and classifications. |
