TRUTH, NON-INJURY, PURITY

[Ms Tercy Lonan]

TRUTH, NON-INJURY, PURITY
The foundation of all Godward movement—of making our earth-bound consciousness rise
upwards towards its original source—is called dharma. And the greatest of all dharma is to make
God your dharma.
Follow God. He has expressed Himself in His sacred scriptures and through the messages of
His prophets. They may seemingly differ but their messages are non-different and one. The factor
that helps us move towards God and attain experience is dharma.
And dharma is expressed as truthfulness in life. Truth and dharma are inseparable; they are
two sides of one thing. And truthfulness requires inner strength which comes only from a pure heart
that has nothing to fear.
Purity is the guarantee of inner strength. Purity comes by enthroning God in your heart,
through feeling His presence within you. It comes by a living inner relationship with Him who you
are certain is within you. Such a living relationship is to be cultivated and established through
prayer.
Thus these factors are all interrelated. The channelising of our entire life towards the great
purpose of existence, God-experience, is possible only through dharma. Truthfulness is the essence
of dharma, and it is only a strong heart and mind that can adhere to truthfulness through all ups and
downs and vicissitudes. Such strength comes only through purity, and purity comes through a

living contact and relationship with God by knowing that He is ever established in your heart. And
a heart devoid of anything that is contrary to dharma becomes the most perfect and suitable seat for
God to come and dwell in: “I dwell where dharma dwells. I dwell where love for Me dwells.” Thus,
let us all strive to make our heart, the inner spiritual heart, worthy of His presence.
