“Truth is one; the wise call it many names




The Self of all makes the senses flow outward,
Therefore one seeks outside of oneself.
Only the wise, seeking the immortal amidst mortality,
Turn their gaze away from the world
And look inward – to find the Self.
- Katha Upanishad

Rig-Veda says: - “Truth is one; the wise call it many names”. Truth is universal it not property of any religion.

Religions in the past have been scared with inter religious conflicts that, to this day cause distress and devastation around the world. Until there is self-knowledge or self-realization there will never be peace. Everyone will be thinking the false self as true self and false experience as reality and the violence will continue in the name of god and religion, which are part of the illusion. 

Unity in diversity is not possible through religion. Thus universal brotherhood is impossibility through religion. Thus there is need to bifurcate religious, yogic and all theoretical paths based on the false self [ego] to realize the ultimate truth, because the truth lies beyond the mind, which is in the form universe. Until and unless one is able to trace the source of the mind from where it erupts and subsides truth realization is impossible. Therefore, realizing the fact that, the self is not form but self is formless in order understand and assimilate and realize the non-dual truth. Without the non-dual wisdom the experience of duality will remain as reality. Without realizing the duality is unreal unity in diversity is impossible.

All the accumulated knowledge from religion and yoga and paths and theories are mere dross in pursuit of truth. Religion and yoga are helpful for the mass and the society but they are obstacles in unfolding the mystery of the mind.
