Philosophers ask whether truth is correspondence to fact, coherence or usefulness. The religions add that truth is a name of the ultimate: Sanskrit sat means both being and truth; al-Ḥaqq is a divine name in Islam; Jesus says he is the truth; the Mūl Mantar names God truth. To know truth in this sense is to be changed by it.
Truth
What is so; for the contemplative traditions, also the Real itself, to be known and lived.
