Even the finest teaching is not the Truth itself
Even the finest name is insufficient to define it
Without Words, the Truth can be experienced
and without a name, it can be known

It is as personal as the seeker. It is differently perceived by each believer though all may agree for a time. Each of us must discover what it is for ourselves by testing each stated truth for merit. I may say that there is a God and need know further proof than His presence in my life but others can conclude that I have an active imagination. It doesn't mean that I am not sharing truth because I can't prove my point. THAT is faith. I don't need to see my birth certificate to prove my birth. Others may require proof for different reasons but it never changes truth. Records aren't proof because they can be changed. Truth is what you believe until you learn more.

The Truth!
- comes from the Knowledge of the Self.
It can only be a personal discovery, to be felt by human beings, individually and not in groups.
It cannot be described nor transmitted to others except to tell them that there is something referred to as 'The Truth' and it does exist.
The steps are -
Discover the thirst,
Know thyself;
know The Truth.
Only an open heart can discover it - and it is not outside you nor do you need to climb mountains and go to the jungle.
It is discovery because it has always been with you and will be always.

Okay, well, you asked the question!
The truth is:
1) We all have spirits that are as much a part of us as our skin. The spirit is what we are, like our thoughts and opinions are who we are.
2) We have a spirit because we were made to have them. We are born with it.
3) We have a nature that is wrong. We not only might have a sleeping spirit, but we have evil thoughts and deeds.
4) Since we as humans have departed from God, we need to fill our lives with things. Sometime the things are people, sometimes the things are just things. But without God, we remain lonely.
5) Only by returning to God can we experience something that truly conquers loneliness.
6) Jesus is the one who provided a bridge between lonely needy man and God.
7) Trusting God is what pleases Him, and by doing so we are counted as one of His people.
8) God does not want everybody.
9) God will lead those who He wants to Him. They become Christian.
10) No man may want to come to God unless He wants them.
11) Most people will not want to come to God.
12) Gods people are those who trust Him. All other people are not His people.
That is the truth.

I saw some saying the truth is what you perceive it to be. That would be there is no truth. How can you have truth if every ones belief on what truth is, is different? The Word of God is truth. Jesus said "I came to testify to the truth"

Truth is something that requires absolutely no faith and is 100% indisputable, save for absurdity and semantics. One example of truth is 2+2=4.

The definition of "truth" is the body of real things, events, and facts.
The word "truth" is thrown around in religion as though its mere utterance made their irrationality "truth."

Truth is the reality of what is real. Truth is the positive aspect of any and all situations.

There is no truth- only what you perceive to be real.
