Originally posted by DasaAfter all your work in vedic rituals, you are left with nothing. Mark my word. 😏
Researching the Vedas means following the Vedas and to put into practice the spiritual principles laid out..
This means you must live as a devotee for a reasonable time period so as to allow the purification process to clean the consciousness.
After all of this you would not be able to reject the Vedic teachings, because your perception would have been up ...[text shortened]... o stay fixed on the spiritual path requires strength of mind and heart and humility and honesty.

The epistles of Second and Third John are great specimens of God being called the truth. John had sunk deep into the Triune God. And to Him God was simply "the truth".
IE.
"For the sake of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever." ( 2 John 1:2)
God Himself abides in the believers. So "the truth" abides in them.
"I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father." (v. 4)
He is talking about the commandment to love one another in Jesus Christ. This John refers to "walking in truth".
It is not just a doctrinal accuracy to John. It is a matter of living. It is a matter of a walk - step by step by step, each moment of each day. He is joyed to know some are walking, ie, daily living, "in truth", that is in God Himself.
Then in the Third Epistle he speaks similarly.
"For I rejoice greatly at the brothers' coming and testifying to your steadfastness in the truth, even as you walk in truth.
I have no greater joy than these things, that I hear that my children are walking in the truth." (3 John 1:3,4)
