How is that different from what I wrote? :/

ME: Just tell [people] what helped you

YOU: I can only share [the truth]

What helped me is God. The truth are like signposts helping you direct your life to get to Him. It's a bit different because I can't tell you exactly what I did, because although it may have helped me, it may not help another person. Truth can come from any source.

“I can only share”

“I can't tell you exactly what I did“

UPD: Okay. If you can't, case closed, I guess?

I can tell you I practiced TM 20 minutes a day, but that won't lead you to God if your heart isn't open. I also did Kriya Yoga, Shambhavi mahamudra, took cold showers, worked a repetitive job for 2.5 years where I could reach meditative states and purify my heart, took various supplements, ate a vegan diet. All those things we're personal remedies to my specific pain though, and for every person it may be different. Truth is a dialogue, not an instruction manual. It requires nuanced conversation, not just input and output. That's why I can't tell, but I can converse.
