Gurunathar’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja 05-01-2009
I heard a question that made me happy. I would like to answer the question. We have heard our wise persons say “God alone is truth and everything else is untruth”. So are the Vedas not eternal and not the real truth? This question needed some thought. My reply to this: The Vedas have said to have come from the fifth face of Lord Shiva which looks downward at us. God’s word like he himself is an eternal truth – so the Vedas too are eternally true. To clear the doubt in the questioner’s mind I would say, you can realize the truth through the untruth. For an example: If you saw a tiger chasing you in a dream it would seem very real at the moment. We would want to get up and run in fright. On opening our eyes we realize it is a dream. Still, at the moment we felt that it was real. Similarly, in this illusory world everything we see becomes unreal when we wake up. The only truth and reality is God. Is that not so? During our lives our experiences seem true only to become unreal when we reach the other side and we realize that God is the only truth. What we all need to know is that the Vedas come from God. We have to learn much from them to reach God. Then that state alone is the truth – for this we must always strive.
