On the path to find this Only Truth,

WHY CAN SOMEONE FIND THE ONLY TRUTH, AND NOT OTHERS?

It’s fate. It’s the destiny. And it is all because of karma from our past lives.

Firstly, we must be honest.

Secondly, when we teach someone, we must be dedicated completely and must explain everything properly.

Thirdly, we must never be unethical, and never accept the wrongs although we might have to suffer. For example, in one of our past lives, there was a kind-hearted person who offered fifty gifts to the poor in our village. Someone knew that we also were in need, so asked us if we want to be added to the list. We knew that our situation was not as bad as the others, so we said no to that offer. If we had taken that gift, someone else would have missed out and they would have suffered more than us. So, we did not accept the wrong doings, we told the truth and were willing to suffer from it. That was the core of the compassion, do not accept unethical thing. By doing that, we had gain many blessings for our afterlives.

That is also karma; the law of Cause and Effect. On the contrary, if someone lied for their benefit, in their afterlives, they would not be able to find the right Master to learn the right principles, The Only Truth, and they would have suffered from these bad consequences.

We must believe in The Truth, and protect it. And despite the fact the truth hurts, we must not ignore it.
We might have heard about Jesus Christ’s famous saying: "The truth sets us free." The truth would help us get rid of miserable feeling and bring us happiness. Why is that so? Because we knew that what we did was right and there would be no bad consequences later. It is simple as the example of when we select a dish from a table full of tasty dishes. We would know which dish is not tasty but healthy, and vice versa... and we must make the right selection to avoid suffering from bad health later in life.

We have got acquainted with many people over the times, some are bad and others are good. We should be aware of who 's who and their personalities so that we can make the appropriate decision when we have to do business with any of them, either good or bad. If the person is good, we could be more flexible. If the person is bad, we should find the way to educate them slowly. When we behave appropriately, our life would become less complicated gradually. That is why the Truth would bring us happiness. The Truth would calm our mind to help us deal with things in life in the appropriate ways.

There is another deeply meaningful principle, and if we could comprehend this principle, surely one day we would be liberated from the suffering of samsara. This principle is called "Four Noble Truths". We often hear people say: "All roads lead to Rome". So we interpreted that all kinds of cultivation would finally lead to liberation. This is not true. The statement "All roads lead to Rome" started from the following event: Once upon a time, Roman Emperor Caesar brought his troops to fight everywhere. He occupied many parts of the world, and whichever part he won over, he made a road leading to the Roman capital. His purpose was to easily control all bases around the world. That was the basis for the above statement.

If we understand the spiritual path to enlightenment is as simple as this statement "All roads lead to Rome", we are completely superficial. If no matter how you cultivate, you will achieve the same goal after all, then this goal is not enlightenment, but only the three evil paths.

To conclude, from all of principles and truths in life, there is only Only Truth really. Imagining a tree and this Only Truth is like the root. Although there are many branches coming out from this root, there is still only one root. Our duty is to find the root. When we find it, when we understand it, we would find the right path to live and cultivate.

On the path to find this Only Truth, we must get rid of our pride and prejudice to comprehend fully this fundamental truth that any religion or anyone must accept it. And more importantly, this Only Truth should be the one that would help all human beings re-unite, have compassion and care for each other to make this world is a better place, another heaven to live in.
