Original
How can we live in peace and prosperity and secure the welfare of our country? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today.
We find unrest and agitation in the world today because people have forgotten truth. Satyam Bruyat, Priyam Bruyat, Na Bruyat Satyam Apriyam (Speak the truth, speak pleasantly, do not speak unpalatable truth). Only truth and righteousness can confer peace and prosperity in the world. Satyam vada; Dharmam Chara (speak truth; practice righteousness). This is the most important principle of Indian culture. Once you develop truth and righteousness, peace and love will automatically follow. Righteousness is the head of Indian culture and Truth its feet. But today, people have severed the head and feet of our culture. They are clinging on to the trunk of Artha and Kama (wealth and desire). What is the use of a mere trunk without a head and feet? People are striving to protect the country. If you protect and practice truth and righteousness, they will, in turn, protect the country! You need not make any special efforts to protect the country. It’s enough if you protect truth and righteousness. The entire world is based on these two principles.
- Divine Discourse, Apr 14, 2003
"
One may undertake any activity, do any job or business, but one should make truth and righteousness the undercurrent of all their endeavours. – BABA
