What is spirituality? New York City (United States)

1995-10-06 Public Program, New York

I bow to all the seekers of the truth. At the very outset we have to know that truth is what it is. You cannot change it. You cannot transform it. It is to be known through your ascent. Unfortunately, at this human awareness we do not know the truth, the absolute truth. What we know is relative truth and that’s why all the problems there are between human beings between countries and the whole world. […]

Shri Adi Kundalini Puja, Weilburg (Germany), 11 August 1991.

Now the first question, which should be taken up first, […]
