"...what [is] the supreme truth...? He doesn't answer it but tells us it is everyone's job to seek it. Take a minute to think what your answer would be. You don't have to accept what others tell you because this is a personal journey. I think the sages of the past can be guides for our search because they lived the message and searched also....from the words of Eknath Easwaren. "Not even the greatest of worldly achievements will satisfy us completely. Nothing finite can ever satisfy us. Sooner or later, all the vitality that has gone into pursuing countless goals in the outer world must flow into one huge desire to discover the divine presence within. This supreme discovery is what matters most in life. We are all born to seek the supreme truth."
I think the supreme truth is for us all to find a way to contribute love to the world and all its inhabitants and to eliminate violence by all of the residents becoming love warriors and replacing indifference, rejection,abuse, war and violence with the love of the earth and all of its inhabitants.
So search for your truth and think of it as if you are running a marathon, or are on a journey. Coming in first isn't the issue but finishing the marathon, completing the journey and finding enlightenment is.
You are more than you give yourself credit for, believe me.
To be compassionate to those who suffer is the key. So get out there and do it. Live your authentic life and the truth will become evident to you and all those who know you...."
