There is no particular section of the world, nor any special group of people, that may calim truth as an exclusive heritage.  It is the rightful possesion of every person, and constitiutes the equality of all souls before God.  If you do not make an effort to know the truth, to perceive it beneath the veils that hide it, you will not discover your own real nature and will therefore remain at the mercy of outside forces of  ‘circumstances.’  In meditation behold the star of divine wisdom, that its rays disclose the truth ever within yourself.  ‘If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light’ (Mathew 6:22). Truth is might and shall prevail!

–Paramahamsa Yogananda
