"A peaceful city street bathed in soft morning light, where misleading posters and faded signs like 'Everything Is Fine' or 'Obey' are beginning to peel and fall away. In the center, a person walks toward a bright, glowing path ahead, where a large sign simply reads 'TRUTH' in clean, radiant letters. Around the person, light begins to break through the fog, illuminating the street and revealing vibrant colors and signs of life—plants growing through cracks, doves in flight, and others beginning to look up from their devices and notice. Clear, hopeful mood with a sense of awakening and clarity. No harsh shadows; gentle natural light and symbolic warmth.

Day 109 of 1461

đź“– Verse of the Day


“The light of truth is indeed a guiding light, and whosoever seeketh it is verily blessed. The truth is not of men, but of God.”

Bahá’Ă­ Faith – Bahá’u’lláh, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh (CXIV)

✨ Significance

Truth is not just an idea—it is a light. In the Bahá’Ă­ Faith, truth is understood as a divine force that illuminates the path toward justice, unity, and freedom. But in a world thick with misinformation, fear, and deception, the light of truth can seem faint or hard to find.

Everywhere we turn, we are confronted by manipulated narratives. Leaders twist facts. Propaganda masquerades as patriotism. Institutions once built to inform and uplift are being used to mislead and divide. The danger is not just in the lies—but in how accustomed we’ve become to them.

Yet Bahá’u’lláh reminds us: truth does not come from manmade systems. It is of God. It cannot be destroyed, only obscured. And when we sincerely seek it—without ego, partisanship, or fear—it will guide us.

This is not just a Bahá’Ă­ belief. Every sacred tradition recognizes truth as divine:

  • In Christianity, Proverbs 12:19 says: “Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.”
  • In Islam, the Qur’an declares: “Truth has come, and falsehood has perished. Indeed, falsehood is bound to perish.” (Surah Al-Isra 17:81)
  • Buddhism teaches: “Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”
  • In Judaism, truth (emet) is one of the pillars of the world, standing for justice and divine presence.

Truth grounds us. It is not always loud—but it is always enduring. It asks us to listen more deeply, to question more honestly, and to align ourselves with what is real—even when it’s uncomfortable.

🌱 Affirmation

I will seek truth with open eyes and an honest heart. I will not be swayed by fear or manipulated by lies. The truth is my compass, and I will follow it.
