Search for Truth
English book, p. 13
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
IN SEARCH OF TRUTH Philosophy, Science, and Heart-Based Spirituality have failed to find the correct answers to existential questions in the search for Truth. After this, religion remains the only place where the answers to questions about truth can be discovered. In this matter, those who do not believe in religion and those who do are both standing on the same platform. For both, it is necessary to rediscover truth through religion. The only difference is that this would be a discovery for deniers of religion, while it would be a rediscovery for believers. ‘Religion’, here, is not used in its conventional meaning, which is a significantly reduced version. The present versions of religion developed in later generations when ‘religious’ people became victims of degeneration. These days, when a person is ‘born into’ a particular religious community, he knows only this reduced form of religion. He becomes familiar with this reduced form of religion to a prejudicial extent. To know the original version of religion, people must come out of the veils of their prejudices. Going beyond the degenerated forms of religion, we need to discover the true form and face of religion. It can be called the ‘Rediscovery of Religion’. Without this ‘rediscovery’, understanding religion’s true importance and meaning will be impossible.
