Truth Ultimately Prevails Truth or ‘Satya’ means ‘being’ i.e, anything that exists in its actual form is truth. Only God exists and will continue to exist. Rest is all perishable and illusion. God has been, is present and will continue to be present till eternity. Existence of God is beyond comprehension of Human mind. Ultimately God will remain. That is why we say Truth represents God or Truth is God.
Mostly people think of truth as ‘merely speaking truth’ whereas it is a wider term. We have to be truthful in thought, action and belief. There has to be no cover up of I-ness or My-ness. Pursuit of truth is pursuit of God. Whatever we do for God is true and will bear the fruit. Whatever we do for ourselves and our family will be fruitless. Because ‘We’ are nothing. It is only God. ‘We’ become the truth only when we merge with God. This state is called 'I AM' or 'I AM THAT'. The crux of The Bhagvad Gita appears to be that a human should offer all his actions, thoughts, feelings and speech to God i.e., even if we are doing some work for our family, we should think we are doing it for God – for the truth. Sai Baba would often say that cause of suffering is feeling of Doership. When we think of ourselves as ‘karta’ (Doer) we are going away from truth and are thus in misery. To experience the joy, surrender all that you are at the feet of Lord. Nothing belongs to you. By not keeping any possession(s) during his lifetime, Saibaba himself has demonstrated this fact. Sai Baba considered the whole universe as one form of that ultimate truth. He did not differentiate between His devotees and non-devotees. He always said ‘Sabka Malik Ek’ because ultimately there is only one truth. Sai Baba has advocated single minded devotion towards one’s deity with faith and patience because Devotion is a method of pursuing truth, finding and reaching the truth – the State of Peace and Joy. Where there is truth, there is God. Where there is God, there is knowledge Where there is knowledge, there is Bliss. This ultimate truth is called Sat-Chit-Anand. We have taken this human body to experience and embrace this truth because ultimately, this human body made of five elements will perish, only Truth will prevail.
