Make a sincere effort to join good company which will help you entertain sacred thoughts to be translated into righteous action.

You write on boards (or make banners), "Truth is God." This is not enough. You should have this imprinted in your heart. The Upanishads teach us, ‘Speak the Truth’ (Satyam Bruyat). This is the physical aspect of the directive. The immediate statement that follows is: ‘Speak lovingly’ (Priyam Bruyat). This is an equally important virtuous aspect which means you should speak the truth in a loving and palatable way and not harshly. The next statement is - Na Bruyat Satyam apriyam. This is the spiritual aspect that you shouldn’t neglect. You must be silent and avoid speaking the truth when it’s not palatable. At the same time, simply because it will please another person, do not speak untruth or half-truth. Truth is changeless and eternal. Conviction in this value is not traceable amongst people of the present. Make a sincere effort to join good company which will help you entertain sacred thoughts to be translated into righteous action. Lead a life of morality and good character.
