So the same truth is variously described as highest truth. Purushottama, Hari, Siddha, Ishwar, Niranjan or without any anointment, beyond logical understanding, highest Brahman, Highest self, highest Lord or Ishvara, the enlightened or full of light etc., other infinite names.

Truth is not delusion, it is always different or distinguishable from delusion it is far away from an idea or imagination. Therefore one who has determined to search out the truth, should start with a clean slate admitting that he knows nothing and in this state of mind he should seek the shelter of an enlightened spiritual saint with a view to know and experience the truth from him. This is the only way he can follow for his enlightenment.
