The Ancient Wisdom tells us that the 'Truth is the Truth, whatever we may call it'.
It reminds us that we all have the Truth within us wherever we are and, although we may not 'know it all, consciously and logically' we intuitively know when someone is telling us a timeless truth (wisdom). We all naturally resonate with the Truth. The Truth is universal for humanity.
Yet the Mind, which is based on our personal learnings, experiences, beliefs and values, has another perspective. This may be the Truth, partially aligned to the Truth, or even totally untrue. The Mind filters and projects. Its often called the gatekeeper of thoughts.
We must train the Mind to hear the timeless wisdom. We must train the Mind to be quiet and calm and then be more able to hear the higher thoughts, the inner Truth, more often. Together with natural intuition, this will guide us better.
That's why I believe that meditation is one of the best spiritual foods, and that it will certainly and naturally lead to greater wisdom. In turn, greater wisdom will certainly and naturally lead to greater unconditional loving and compassion. The virtuous circle becomes complete. The Truth manifests in the dance of Love and Wisdom. The ultimate act of Oneness.
How many of us are spiritually undernourished? How many of us are spiritually poor?
Perhaps a better purpose would be to eradicate ignorance and spiritual poverty in an increasingly wealthy materialistic world.
How many spiritual billionaires could there be? Potentially, around 6.5 billion billionaires?
What could be greater?
