of doubt and see the Truth. Despite doubts, he should obtain a state of complete certainty. A veil of doubt is placed over everything that exists in the world. As soon as a person takes birth in this world, he finds himself in a jungle of conflicting thoughts. Man is confronted with all sorts of philosophies of life that can leave him utterly confused. There are dogmas of religions and other worldviews, and each religion or ideology claims it is true. Each person nurses a storm of emotions and desires inside him, which are a hurdle in acting rationally. Everyone is entangled in family attachments and social bonds. Everyone is guided by self-interest. Everyone is so caught in the web of wealth and relationships that he does not know what to do or what not to do. Only someone who can develop objective thinking can realize the Truth in such a situation. He should develop the ability to lift and remove the curtains of doubt and see Truth as Truth and falsehood as falsehood. He should see things as they indeed are. Along with this, he should be able to accept willingly what he knows to be true. If he realizes something is right, he should accept it unhesitatingly. Changing the direction of his life, his aim should be to attain self-discovered Truth. The means to remove the curtain of doubts that man is confronted with is just one: knowing and understanding God’s creation plan. This creation plan explains things so that all doubts are removed, and the Truth is made evident, like the sun appearing bright and shining after the dark clouds have moved away.
