Guest guest Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 (106) Satyah -He is the Real. The term Satyam used in philosophy has a special connotation. That which remains the same in all the three periods of time is called Satyam. That which seemingly exists, but which never was nor shall ever be, is considered as a false delusion, A-satya. He who remains the same, before the creation, during the existence and even after the dissolution, is the Infinite Truth, Satyah. The Taittireeya Upanishad thunders that the Eternal Truth is " Truth, Knowledge, Bliss " : " Satyam, Jnaanam, Anantam Brahma " - Taittireeya Upanishad: 2-1. We may here mention a couple of other meanings that are generally given to this term " The best among good people is Satyam. Again, the word Satyam is made up of three sounds -Sat-ti-yam -and, herein, according to the Upanishad itself, " Sat means praana, ti means food, Yam means sun; " therefore, Sat yam is the Law which orders the food to sustain the praana when both are blessed by the sources of all gross energies in the cosmos, the Sun.
