聽神談【如何找到所有的「真理」?】
別說真理是只在「這裡」或只在「那裡」,真理「既不在這裡也不在那裡」,而是無所不在。
它在《聖經》裡、在《古蘭經》裡、在《奧義書》、在《薄伽梵歌》,它在《聖經》裡稱為<摩西五書>、<詩篇>及<新約>的部分,它也在《摩門經》及《隱言經》裡。然而,要了解這點:你無法在任何地方找到全部的真理,而是在每個地方找到其部分(It is found in Whole nowhere, and in Part everywhere.)。所有這些源頭,就個別而言,都包含著不完整的了解。
所以,懇求那些會在生活中活出新靈性的人,考慮每本書為神聖的、視每位信使為神聖的,縱使像他們───他們自己───也是神聖的,因為當他們在過他們自己的生活,就是在「寫自己最神聖的真理之書」。要永遠記住這點。
活出屬於你自己的人生,就是在寫你自己最神聖的真理之書,並提供證據 。(The living of your own life writes the book of your most sacred truth, and offers evidence of it.)
摘自《重新定義神》第16章
Do not say that the truth is exclusively "here" or exclusively "there," but, rather, that the truth is "neither here nor there," but every where.
It is in the Qur'an, and it is in the Upanishads. It is in the Bhagavad Gita, and it is in the Bible. It is in the portions of the Bible called the Torah and called the Psalms and called the New Testament. It is in the Book of Mormon and the Book of Hidden Words.
Yet know this: It is found in Whole nowhere, and in Part everywhere. All of those sources, taken singu- larly, contain incomplete understandings.
Therefore, entreat those who would live the New Spirituality to consider every book sacred and every messenger holy, even as they, themselves, are holy, and as the living of their own lives writes the book of their most sacred truth. Remember that always.
The living of your own life writes the book of your most sacred truth, and offers evidence of it.
