What / Who is helping you in your quest for the Truth ..??

Answer 1

Why, you are of course. And all my contacts.

Plus maybe the Universe is doing a bit of contriving, Though I'm still thinking about that one. And life.
.

Answer 2

I'm not sure there is this Truth you speak of. I've been looking carefully at things for years. I've seen (little t) kinds of truth. Maybe that's all there is. If so, then I'm at peace with that.

Where have I be looking? I couldn't call my way a quest. There have been a lot of good people and many of there ideas are written down. The poetry of Issa, Gibran, and Khayyam have changed me. Tzu, Musashi, and Aristotle have helped me carefully consider what and how I think.

What I have come to understand has come slowly, and with many missteps. The one thing that helped me the most was when I stopped looking for the answer, and simply started looking.

Answer 3

I have many Shiksha Gurus And an initiating Guru as well, but my main Guru Is Bhaktivedanta Prabhupda, His books, Lectures and DVD's It is like being there when He was here hearing the Vedanta. I feel very fortunate for those who took the time to make all of this possible for me and others to understand The Absolute Truth Also known as Krishna Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, Rama, etc.

Answer 4

You are... everyone that answered this question did, everyone that posts a question does. Infact, every instance, every co-ordination with other beings, help me out in my quest for truth. Each incidence, each argument, allows me to widen my perspective, enhance my knowledge. Each such event allows me to think beyond my own limitations. I believe since the absolute truth is universal, considering these co-ordinations and understanding what each and every person believes should help out. It does create a confusion at times, but knowing the truth is not that easy either. We have to solve unimaginable puzzles before we could get closer to the truth.

I may be wrong. But that's the way I am experimenting besides meditation.

All the best...

Answer 5

Thank you for this question! My fingers cannot type fast enough. For years I felt as if I were on a solitary quest; I have been an observer of life around me from a very tender age, and kept journals, tapes (audio & video) for future reference. I've tried time-lapse of neighbours raking leaves & mowing yards, lightning storms, rain, ants making mounds, cloud formations, snow accumulating, snow melting, houses being built, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, in my vain attempts to understand life here. At the same time, looking thru telescopes on bitterly cold, but clear nights. Listening to Moody Blues, or Sting, or Diana Krall for inspiration along the way. But it has been a simple human effort. I was once "enlightened" thru LSD, but was too young (18) to grasp it (was mostly entertained by it at the time, but it DID open the door...) Taking a long M/C trip helps me realise that I'm doing just about as good as Willie Nelson or Peter Fonda...I REALLY like Neil Young - he is definitely tuned-in to HIS search for the Truth, and an inspiration for others. You never know where your next inspiration might come from! Today I spoke to a complete stranger (a girl holding an infant girl on her hip in a store,) and the little (big and blue) eyes of the infant were glued to mine. I simply said, "Well, hi there bright eyes!" toward the infant girl, and she spontaneously smiled and she shyly shook her glance away from my eyes. It was a moment of pureness and innocence that gives one Hope for the future. In my frustration, I sometimes seek solice in Comedy, Sex with a good woman, beer, outdoor exercise.....what do you do, I ask with curiosity.

Answer 6

I like to say that knowledge is like a puzzle. The more you learn, the more of the pieces you put together. And the easier it is to find the missing pieces.
The Holy Spirit helps I'm sure. Since I seem to figure things out now "before" I read about them. It helps I have had
that thirst for knowledge all these years, and I have the knowledge in my head for the Holy Spirit to bring it all together.

Answer 7

I don't see any point in looking for the truth, what would you do after you found it? Why don't you do that anyway and cut out the middle man?

Answer 8

contemplation, science, ideas, even Y!A. And the knowledge that truth is elusive and that it is the quest that counts.

Answer 9

Study and serious note-taking, association with others who like to discuss the scriptures according to their value, meditation, and yes the Helper or Comforter.

Answer 10

my own Karmas of so many lives and this life till now , the result of which is converted in the strong desire for knowing the truth.
