The Deepest Truths Are Received, Then Lived
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Only the One is fully real and lasting, and that reality runs through everything.
You come to know it when it's given to you — and then you live it, and it settles into your heart.
The Pauree centers on sach — Truth, the real and lasting: You alone are True; the Truth of Truths is everywhere. And it makes an important point about how truth comes to us: he alone receives the Truth, unto whom You give it — then he practices it. Truth isn't first grasped by cleverness and then lived; it's received as a gift, and living it out is how it takes root. The one who meets true wisdom finds truth abiding in the heart. For a child: the deepest truths aren't things you argue your way to — they're given, and then grown by living them.
What's a truth you didn't just learn but slowly grew into by living it?
