| VEDANTA, UNITY AND UNIVERSALITY, THE UNITY OF TRUTH | |
| It cannot be
something peripheral or extraneous to who we are, but must dwell at the core of our beings
as the underlying power of consciousness itself. Truth cannot be other than our true
nature. We can only find peace of mind when we have discovered that Truth and come to live
according to it, which is to live in it as our real Self. The unity of Truth is the fundamental principle of the Vedantic system of philosophy which has dominated India since ancient times. A similar intuition of unity occurs to some degree in the nobler aspirations of all human beings regardless of time and culture, though it has not always been proclaimed as clearly and logically as in Vedanta. Yet the unity of Truth is not merely a philosophical theory or a religious belief. It reflects the highest and most direct experience- that of our own consciousness itself divested of all limiting preconceptions in which we discover all the universe, all beings to exist within ourselves. If there is only One Reality can we be other than it?
