There is no truth about G‑d.
Truth is G‑d.
There is no one who learns Truth.
You become Truth.
There is no need to search for Truth.
You have inherited it and it is within you.
You need only learn quietness
to listen to that inheritance.

God is truth and love in its purest form. Truth is a very wide term as each person sees truth differently. Love is a bit more concrete, as people have glimpses of thrue love through their lives. Unfortunetaly only very few can maintain the power of pure Godly love. Open your soul by freeing yourself from all anger, anxiety, jealousy, resentment and you shall receive boundless love and become one with God and you will feel compelled to share it, but without imposing. Many refuse to be loved as they meaning of love is distorted. Then live and lead by example. Be happy, always forgiving and always remember that a smile is the door to the soul. Remember: a smile is contagious. It's the greatest gift of all and I wish it on humanity.
We can replace the word truth with love and it works exactly the same, they become one, like each of us and God.

Become Truth Thank you for this wonderful insight. I will put this in my notebook, as a wonderful reminder for myself, with only one change or note; instead of, or along with, the word " that " I am going to put - your or my. Reply

Yet another poignant and meaningful daily dose. We thank you.
Would it be possible to include a pdf of the daily doses so we could easily forward by WhatsApp to our friends and family?
Thanks Chabad

Sound the shofar
Sound the great shofar for our redemption, raise a banner to gather our exiles; gather us from the four corners of the earth to our land. Blessed are You, G-d, who gathers the dispersed of Israel

Trith is G-d Although jewish born, I am an anti religion, however a great believer in Gd. And I agree that truth is Gd. I am blessed with experiencing truth in my life. I am blessed to cultivate and cherish truth within my soul and at times have become one with the divine. It is within all of us. We have the power to become one with truth hence with Gd. It starts with recognition of one's blessings in life and gratefullness for all in our lives, then miracles happen when the door to truth is opened. Reply

God is truth v Truth is God
In my opinion, God is truth would be more appropriate rather than 'Truth is G-d'. Truth could be on any subject. Hence my comment.
Truth is on par to Natural Law.
Agree with the power of silence. I recommend everyone scrap their TV's
for true inner voices to be heard.

Become Truth Once I was registered as a prayer by a Chriatian pastor at the door of a nursing home for a visitation. That was my first time to realize a prayer is a person and also a message. I pray the prayer but I also become a prayer and my life is a message for eternity. I never thought of Truth this way but I do pray that I get rid of falsehood, deception, and lies by the help of HaShem. Reply

Keats
As soon as i read Keats and knowing not a jot of poetry, there was ' A thing of beauty is a joy forever ... truth beauty, beauty truth. Or something to that effect.
The line never left me. Good thing to. The Truth of which you speak is the Truth i seek. Thanks for telling me how to look for Him and where to find Him. Time to shut down the computer in exchange for some inward quietness. Great to read this before sleep. Should have some beautiful dreams.
Thank you and Lila tov.

The truth, and to become
The truth is a gift, which we need to cultivate everyday. because it runs away
Like if it has it's own route. We need to remind ourselves, our close ones to always say the truth, no matter what. I was brought up that way. And one day, I discovered my real gift, the truth. How do we need to speak the truth. To cultivate the truth is like making our favorite recipe. Even if it is the same one we have been making all of our lives. One day, we discover we can show how to make this recipe, withought understanding to whom we are giving orders too. Because we have become good in doing this recipe. One day we discover to whom we have shown how to do this recipe, was a great listener, but was also a great person. Stupifaction came to me. How could I myself shown a simple and stupid recipe to a great person like this, me of all people. Since then this great person, I showed the recipe of how to tell the truth, to someone great. The greatest thing has happened to me. By telling the truth.

Truth of Coming Robotic Wageless Economy Excellent words. Did'nt Baal Shem say: "What does it mean, when people say that the Truth goes over the whole world ? It means that Truth is driven out of one place after another, and must wander on and on." Reply

beautiful.
could this also extend to say that we should respect or recognize the truth of others as well?
this is such a beautiful truth, and yet my first response was--then why are people so cruel to one another?
maybe they are simply lacking knowledge of this.
thanks.

Humanity sees everything through the lens of our egoistic nature. We distort everything to spin it for our benefit.
This is being exposed today by the misinformation through media, social media and conspiracy theories.
For a short time from the exodus from Egypt when the Jewish people learned to rise above their egos until the formation of the First Temple. Then the truth declined until the fall of the Second Temple.
Until we reach the state of love your friend as yourself, we can't feel the truth, the positive force surrounding us and dormant within us.
Only when we recognize that we create the wrong picture through our egoism then we can awaken that desire to reveal G_dliness through recalibration our egoistic lens to the altruistic level.
We become Tduth.
