GLORY OF TRUTH

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on October 17, 2012 at 7:00pm

If five thousand ritualistic sacrifices and truth are weighed on a scale, truth will undoubtedly outweigh the sacrifices. That is the reason why the Sruti says: "Truth alone triumphs but not falsehood". Even Yudhisthira had to visit hell as he once told a lie. He modified and twisted truth in a skillful and dexterous manner.
Aspirants should sincerely endeavor to speak the truth at all times. If they get established in truth, then all the other virtues will cling to them. Brahman is Truth and one can realize Him only by speaking the truth.

From "Daily Sayings" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on Swami Sivananda: on the Website of Divine Life Society, Photographs of Swami Sivananda, German Pages on Swami Sivananda
