Underfoot

Truth exists as much in your teacup as it does in your temples and churches. Truth is as present in shopping for your groceries as it is in chanting to God.

To think of truth only in spiritual or religious terms is to miss the whole of it, for in doing so you create the boundaries and divisions that are the very antithesis of truth. Truth is an immeasurable reality not at all separate from your own being. For in the revelation of truth, all beings rest within your being.

Put more simply, if you cannot find it now underfoot, I’m afraid that you have missed it entirely.

It’s refreshing to be reminded that truth is not separate from our everyday experiences. I’m curious to know, have you had any personal experiences where you discovered truth in a seemingly ordinary moment or place? Thank you for sharing!
