| Sathya (Truth) Following are excerpts of Swami's teachings on Sathya (Truth) Truth relates not only to what is factually correct, but what is true for all time. Moreover, truthful speech must be both pleasing and beneficial to the person concerned. It should not excite passion or promote ill-will. You should not indulge in falsehood to please others. If you tell the truth, tell it clearly and sweetly. Do not tell truth in an unclear way, or tell untruth in a dear way. |
