Self-discovery

According to me, man becomes free (from his sense of limitation and hence suffering) when he discovers the truth about himself. This discovery is effected by many techniques, most of which throughout history have been taught in disciplic succession. Whatever the technique, the way is meditative. Upon success in mediation and self-discovery, many express their knowledge. Mohammad too undertook meditation in Mount Herat and other places at other times and discovered the truth and had it dictated to his disciples and that expression has come to be known as Quran. This is the origin of all scriptures - expressions of self-realized individuals to teach mankind the path to its divinity. Therefore, it is fair to say that Mohammad is the authour of the Quran. To ascribe its authorship to Allah is also not erroneous; because it is Him whom we discover in meditation and our expression is but a reflection of His truth. Since every individual has the potential of discovering the truth about himself and many would seek to express it in various ways, scriptures have been innumerable and would continue to pour forth in future also. There can be no full stops to expressions, especially the expressions of divinity.
