The Truth of the Truth

I am in you and for you: you are for Me and in Me. Yet, I have an urge to tell you a little about Me and guide you. I am not won by adulation or lost by disregard. I am won by Truth, Genuineness, Sincerity. For, I have come with this human physical apparel for upholding Truth; I am the Truth of the Truth; the Truth in all truths. This Form bears the Name: Truth (Sathya)! The vitality within this Form is Truth. That is the Power which overpowers all powers. Why has Truth come down on earth in this Form? To place man on the road to Truth, to plant in their [men’s] hearts the yearning for Truth, to help them reach the goal of Truth through instruction and illumination.

Therefore, I move with you in order to correct and console. I eat and talk, I laugh and teach, I speak and travel in the manner you do so that I can lead you on to the Truth from which you have strayed away. I make you laugh and weep, I appear before you here and there, to harden you and to ease your burden, so that you can reach Truth.

I do not stray, despite the fact that I am aware of all that is and was and will be, despite My knowledge of all that is enveloped in Time and Space. I desire you to note this well. For, whosoever finds himself in positions high or takes up the reins of leadership has to walk straight and steady, so that all who follow may do likewise and win the goal.

I have come to re‑establish the rhythm of righteousness in the world; hence, all the hours of day and night, every second I fill with activity suffused with Love, activity designed to further your progress in the pilgrimage to the Truth, that is Myself. For, Truth alone can confer on you lasting Bliss; and the Bliss you gain is the Food on which I sustain Myself.
