Truth

The Lord is near those who call upon Him in truth, and who ask Him for the things that are truly important, such as salvation.

Ignorance is the lack of the divine ability to see the supramental Truth; it is the part of our consciousness that does not perceive, as opposed to the part that sees and knows the truth.
