ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE TRUTH
GOD manifests Himself on earth through truth. Disbelief in
the truth is disbelief in God. There is no greater crime than to refuse to
accept the truth after it has been made plain. Truth emanates from God, so whoever
rejects it is, in fact, rejecting God. There is nothing strange about the
truth. It is inherent to human nature, yet people fail to accept it. This is
because they are psychologically inhibited from doing so. Acceptance of the
truth might disrupt their materialistic life-pattern. They might have to lower
their worldly status. If the truth is presented by some insignificant person
against whom they are prejudiced, they are reluctant to acknowledge it.
Psychological barriers such as these dominate their minds preventing straight
thinking. They reject matters, which a little honest thought would surely have
led them to accept as the truth. Since man is being tested in this world, God
does not make Himself manifest in visible form; He appears in the form of
truth. Man must recognize God as enshrined in truth and bow down before it.
When truth appears on earth, it is as if God has appeared in all His majesty.
Rejecting truth on the grounds of prejudice, pride or expediency, is to reject
God Himself. It is a failure to recognize God in the truth. It is equivalent to
placing yourself above God and giving precedence to your own petty
requirements. They will wander helplessly, forever abject and forlorn. Since man is being tested in this world, God
does not make Himself manifest in visible form; He appears in the form of truth.
