The True God...


If by God you mean something higher than mere material existence, then we do not deny God.

It is the false notions of God that we deny, the grotesque caricatures that appear in churches and temples and sermons and books.

We look on this higher Reality as something not afar off from the essence of our own selves.

We have discovered that the common everyday life does not exhaust the alphabet of existence, that there is something sublime beyond it and yet akin to us.

We do honour and revere such a God, if you wish to call It such, because we believe It to be the true God.
