The moment approaches when the Truth will govern the world. Will you work to hasten its coming? Blessings.

* Let us all work with a growing sincerity for the manifestation of the Divine Truth.

Salute to the advent of the Truth.

* Once falsehood is conquered, all difficulties will go.

* In all human beings is not falsehood always mixed with Truth?

* Falsehood is the great ally of Death.

*

[facsimile]

There is one Truth but a million ways of distorting it in the attempt to express it.

* Hypocrisy and pretension are the homage ignorance pays to the truth. Hypocrisy and pretension are the first signs of the inconscient’s aspiration towards consciousness.

* Simultaneous with the progress and intensification of the sad-hana, there is increasingly felt the imperative need that all hypocrisy and compromise should stop.

* This earth is still governed by ignorance and falsehood. But the time has come for the manifestation of Truth.

9 August 1954

* May the Truth be invincible, overwhelming, all-powerful, leaving no room for falsehood anywhere and for ever.

* Such is life! The world is a place of falsehood and it is only in the silent depths of the Divine that one can find the peace of truth.

15 December 1964

* Truth is stronger than falsehood. There is an immortal Power that governs the world. Its decisions always prevail. Join with it and you are sure of the final victory.

* Worship Truth. It will cure you of Falsehood.

* When men will be disgusted with the falsehood in which they live, then the world will be ready for the reign of the Truth.

14 August 1971

* Before dying falsehood rises in full swing. Still people understand only the lesson of catastrophe. Will it have to come before they open their eyes to the truth? So I ask an effort from all so that it has not to be. It is only the Truth that can save us; truth in words, truth in action, truth in will, truth in feelings. It is a choice between serving the Truth or being destroyed.
