Truth in a Nutshell
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.
Gospel of Saint John 1:1
***
The beginning and end of all things is Shabd. All gross matter, the sky and so forth, subtle matter, sound, form, taste and scent are all Shabd. Whatever exists is Shabd. Whatever is manifested from Shabd cannot be anything but Shabd. Shabd is our creator. Shabd is our sustainer. We are of Shabd and Shabd is ours. The Gurus say that Shabd is the Supreme Lord.
Maharaj Sawan Singh, Philosophy of the Masters, Vol. IV
***
There is but one God;
true is his Name.
He is the Creator,
without fear,
without enmity
and of timeless form.
Unborn and self-existent,
he is realized through the Guru’s grace.
