To your questions above, let us first ask  or make it clear, what is Truth?

In the beginning of Jap Jee Sahib, First Patshahee tells us very clearly, what is that Truth.

He says: Sat  Nam.

Which means, the Nam is Sat, the Nam is that Primal eternal Truth.

And without that One Nam, everything is false and perishable.  Ekas bin sabh dandh hae.

There are many instances in the Gurbani, where Guru Jee points out the way to that Truth.

I have just found one gem from that vast spiritual wisdom in the Bani, which I would like to share here with the sangat.

Dhan Dhan Sree Guru Arjun Dev tells us: 

har simran chhaad param gat chaahai.
The mortal abandons meditative remembrance of the Lord, and then wishes for the state of supreme salvation

He is telling us that, the highest goal of achieving Him, is through the path of His bhakti, per means of His simran alone, which the worldly jeevas avoid doing, for they prefer to do what they see others most doing, be it may strong manmat, rather to pay heed to the words of Guru Sahiban.

Then also, they foolishly think and believe that they will still achieve Him.

So to conclude answering your questions,  it could be well said in short, Nam is the Truth, and His Simran is the way to that Truth.

Stay blessed.

Sat Sree Akal.

I recently talked about this in a different thread on meditation.

It is important to follow the 3 pillars of Sikhism to keep your heart in the right place.

The three pillars are -

1. Naam Japna - meditation

2. Vand Chhakna - being generous and kind - sharing things, knowledge, love, wisdom etc that you have/feel

3. Sachi Kirt Karni - Truthful actions - speaking Truth, acting according to the Truth

If any of these pillars are missing you will screw up your nervous system, which will make you lost.

Your body-car will become rusted, the engine will screw up and the gps will go out of whack. Your body-computer will constantly fill up with ads and viruses, when you go to load one program another one will open.

You will meditate and wonder why isn't it bringing any results.

It's not bringing results because the house has been built completely wrong. The roof is collapsing and the walls the breaking down.

It body-building must be supported by all 3 pillars.

Also  other  ways by which ,with Simran a devotee can know true way of life :

1. Holy Companionship

2. Contentment 

3. Restraint of  the Senses

4. Truth
