478. Sat -The Existence in all things and beings is the same ever, and

it is All-pervading. The sun exists; the space between the sun and the

earth exists; the ocean and the creatures therein exist; the

physiological organs and their functions, mind and its activities, the

intellect and its agitations -all exist. This Ever-present Principle of

Existence is Sri Narayana. That which remains the same without any

change in and through all changes, unaffected ever, same in the past,

present and the future is called in Vedanta as `Satya.' One who has all

these natures is called Sat-Purusha. In the Upanishads, the Supreme

Brahman is indicated as `Satya' – " This, O Child, indeed was Sat. " In

the Geeta while describing the Changeless Factor behind the eternally

changing matter, Bhagavan says: " That which is the All-pervading in

this world, that alone is indestructible and no one can destroy it. "
