What Is Sathyam?

 

 

> What Is Sathyam?

>

> God is truth. He can be realised only by speaking truth and observing

> truth in thought, word and deed. Truthfulness, equal vision, self-

> control, absence of envious emulation, forgiveness, modesty,

> endurance, absence of jealousy, charity, thoughtfulness,

> disinterested philanthropy, self-possession and unceasing and

> compassionate harmlessness are the thirteen forms of truth. Your

> thoughts should agree with your words and your words should agree

> with your actions. To think of one thing, say another and do a third

> is horrible - it is nothing but crookedness. By telling lies you

> pollute your conscience and infect your subconscious mind. The habit

> of telling lies will be carried on to your next birth and you will

> suffer in birth after birth. Have you ever thought of this?

>

> If you are established in truth, all other virtues will cling to you.

> Penetrate more deeply into the kingdom of truth. Sacrifice your all

> for the truth. Die for the truth. Speak the truth. Truth is life and

> power. Truth is existence. Truth is knowledge. Truth is bliss. Truth

> is silence. Truth is peace. Truth is light. Truth is love. Live to

> realise the truth.

>

> Truth is the law of life. Truth means the strength of will to abide

> by positive principles - a sense of justice, an unbiased mind and

> recognition of its subtle essence in all life. Truth is like a ladder

> leading to heaven, or a boat enabling one to cross the ocean of

> misery. Speak the truth, but let it not be unpleasant and speak not

> of any pleasing falsehood - this is eternal religion.

>

> Fire burns everything; it is true to its nature. Water flows from a

> higher level; the seed sprouts and becomes a tree; the scorpion

> stings; these are all true to their nature. This is satyam. But man

> violates truth; he is ungrateful. He is not true to his essential

> nature. Wife poisons the husband; sons are not filial towards their

> fathers; sons murder their parents; this is not truth. To manifest

> one's essential divine nature, to manifest divine virtues is satyam

> or truth. To be true to one's own self is satyam.

>

> A truthful man is free from worry and anxiety, he has a calm mind. He

> is respected by society. If you speak the truth for twelve years you

> will get vak-siddhi - then whatever you speak will come to pass.

> There will be great power in your speech - you will be able to

> influence thousands.
