When one is spiritually blind to the *truth*...
Are they also spiritually Deaf and Dumb (Mute) to the *truth* as well?
When one is spiritually awake to the *truth*...
Do they see the *truth* in All -- even the spiritually handicapped?

Theoretically, Yes and Yes.... but in reality, I believe that no-one on earth is awake to EVERY truth.... and we only see those truths that we are currently aware of.
Consider this parable:
A man with a nervous twitch in his leg walked up to a paralised man in a wheelchair. The paralised man also had a speach impediment, and could not talk.
The man with the twitch said to the man in the wheelchair, "You are a poor man indeed, for you cannot even walk. I am so glad I'm not paralised like you. God bless you, you poor man." And the man with the twitch walked off to do good deeds.
The paralised man thought to himself, "What unfortunate ignorance that man has! He doesn't even realise the peacefulness I have here. Since I cannot speak, I listen, and I have gained great wisdom. I am so glad I'm free to learn, not like that poor man, so bound up in useless activity. May God bless his feeble soul." And the paralysed man sat and pondered upon his great wisdom.
God looked upon them both, and sadly but fondly shook his head. He said to himself, "My sons, if you would share what you had with each other, you would both be made whole."
Are we not all spiritually handicapped in some way? So let us all learn from each other... no matter how "poor" we perceive the other person to be. In both giving and receiving, we are all made partakers of an infinite richness.
P.S. The truth is out there, and also within. Be trusting.

This has raised a question in my mind:
Why I see the truth in animals but not in the spiritually handicapped, while both being spiritually equal?

Onlyl when we get associated with a true saint, can we realise the Truth. Truth is not something that can be lectured by us. We are actually groping in the dark.
Yes Truth is within all of us, but enligtenment is lacking. That can come only when we value the importance of a saint. And it is then only that we can realise the Truth in all.
And Truth is perceivable by any body who is in this human body, no matter even if he is physically handicapped also.

Yes and no. I see Light in all...including myself. That Light is just seen or of unique brightness different ways in different people and situations.
Some might be less aware of something yet are still growing and learning." Handicapped " or merely on different awareness and learning levels ?
Blessings to all at whatever " handicap " level they're at.

I find that people who talk about spirituality rarely have any handle on the truth. "Spirituality" is a word used to make their feelings and emotions sound more authoritative. It has nothing to do with reality.

when one is blind, one does tend to be impaired in other aspects as well
when one is awake, they do see the truth in the handicapped:)

They are blind but the word of God breaks down all barriers in both the physical, mental, and spiritual realm, in order they are can be made whole, made pure and enpowered to do the will of God on this earth just as Christ himself has done..

Yes and yes but but one also knows the handicapped are handicapped. And sometimes the handicapped know they are handicapped. This is good. ~ : )
