God is One but we address Him with different Names. ‘Ekam Sat Viprah bahuda vadanti’. Ishwar, Allah, Ram Govind are names created by the people depending upon their own culture and how they relate to the truth. That the earth was at the centre of the universe was a accepted truth for almost two millenniums (the scientists had advanced alternative theories in ancient world also: Aristarchus of Samos, an ancient Greek astronomer, was one of the first to propose that the Earth orbited the Sun but was suppressed by the then prevalent and perceived truth) thanks to the icon Aristotle. Before the modern world accepted the changed truth, Bruno and Galileo Galilei had to be sacrificed among others. When we make a great man as the only icon of the perceived (or revealed to explain a phenomenon) truth of a particular time , the hidden truth (which is eternal but not revealed) remains hidden for centuries. Revealed truth is only an a tip of the iceberg. So much remains unexplored. Not seen, not embodied or manifested neither created nor destroyed, self created and perpetual.

In the face of varying theories about the world of truth, love, not hatred; harmony, not conflict, dialogue not argument will lead the way to seek truth. The road to truth is long and difficult. We cannot claim that we have arrived at the destination. The journey is to be enjoyed with trust, harmony and love.
