Truth- – In Gandhiji’s words

WHAT…is Truth? A difficult question; but I have solved it for myself by saying that it is what

the voice within tells you. How then, you ask, [do] different people think of different and

contrary truths? Well, seeing that the human mind works through innumerable media and that the

evolution of the human mind is not the same for all, it follows that what may be truth for one

may be untruth for another …

It is because we have at the present moment everybody claiming the right of conscience without

going through any discipline whatsoever, and there is so much untruth being delivered to a

bewildered world. All that I can in true humility present to you is that Truth is not to be found by

anybody who has not got an abundant sense of humility. If you would swim on the bosom of the

ocean of Truth, you must reduce yourself to a zero.

Truth and Love–ahimsa–is the only thing that counts. Where this is present, everything rights

itself in the end. This is a law to which there is no exception.

To see the universal and all-pervading spirit of Truth face to face one must be able to love the

meanest of creation as oneself.

Truth resides in every human heart, and one has to search for it there, and to be guided by truth

as one sees it. But no one has a right to coerce others to act according to his own view of truth.
