The Hindu Vedas proclaims, “Truth is one, the wise call it by different names.”

Wow.  That seems like a familiar idea.  I wrote a blog on this theme several months ago.  The contrary to this suggests that fools think there is only one name for truth.  The world is not so black and white.  Truth as a singular concept exists in shades of grey.  The wise seek opportunity to understand diverse perspectives and facets of its singularity, because in seeing the truth in other experiences they open themselves to even greater wisdom and understanding.  A one sided perspective limits understanding.  The wise man explores a wide history of learning to gleen all the shades of truth and apply them to betterment of him/herself and his/her society.

There is a whole world is full of perspectives and learning.  Keep seeking.  Keep learning.  Keep growing.
