Truth Doesn’t Belong to Any Religion

Truth is not Hindu.
It is not Christian.
It is not Buddhist or Sufi or Vedantic.
Truth doesn’t wear robes.
It doesn’t chant in Sanskrit or Arabic.
It doesn’t care if your hands are folded, lifted, or empty.
Truth is not owned.
Not branded.
Not copyrighted by any lineage, scripture, or temple.
Truth is free.
And so must you be.
The Trap of Labels
We love labels.
We say,
“I follow Advaita.”
“I’m a Christian mystic.”
“I’m into Zen.”
“I practice Bhakti Yoga.”
These are beautiful paths—
but they are still paths.
And every path, no matter how sacred,
must eventually be left behind
if you are to arrive at what is already here.
The finger can point to the moon,
but if you keep staring at the finger,
you’ll miss the sky.
The Great Ones Never Taught Religion
Ramana Maharshi never asked for disciples.
Nisargadatta Maharaj didn’t create an institution.
Jesus didn’t build a church.
Buddha walked away from the palace—and never looked back.
They spoke from silence.
They lived from Presence.
They pointed to what cannot be captured in belief.
Their words were not teachings—
they were reminders.
Not instructions—
but pointers.
And they all said the same thing, in different ways:
“What you’re looking for is already within you.”
The Mind Loves Systems. Truth Is Simple.
The ego wants systems, techniques, labels, and belonging.
It says:
“If I just do this mantra…
If I follow this lineage…
If I join this sangha…
Then I’ll find God.”
And all of that has its place.
Until it becomes a cage.
Spiritual identity is still identity.
Even the idea “I am a nondualist” is a thought.
And as long as you cling to any identity,
you remain a step away from the direct experience of Reality.
Truth is not Advaita.
Truth is not Vedanta.
Truth is not anything the mind can name.
Truth is what remains when all names dissolve.
So What Does This Mean for the Seeker?
It means you must stay open.
Flexible.
Free.
Use the teachings—
but don’t get lost in them.
Learn from the paths—
but don’t wear them as badges.
Read the scriptures—
but be willing to throw them away
if they ever block your direct seeing.
Because God is not Hindu.
The Self is not found only in India.
Awakening is not bound by lineage.
It is your birthright.
Because it is your very being.
You Can Be Devoted Without Being Divided
Don’t mistake this for disrespect.
I love the Vedas.
I chant Krishna’s name.
I bow to saints, offer incense, sit in satsang.
But I don’t confuse any of this
with the Truth I’ve seen.
They are tools.
Sacred tools—yes.
But not the goal.
Love your path.
But love the Truth more.
Because the moment you believe your way is the only way,
you have stepped away from God
and into the mind again.
The Truth doesn’t divide.
It includes.
It embraces.
It is not a religion.
It is the pulse of existence itself.
What Remains When All Paths Fall Away?
Silence.
Stillness.
This moment.
What you are,
what you’ve always been,
what every scripture has been trying to tell you…
is already here.
You don’t need a new belief.
You need to stop clinging to the old ones.
You don’t need to change your path.
You just need to walk it all the way to the end—
and then let it go.
That’s when Truth reveals itself.
Not as an idea,
but as your own being.
