Everything has its existence only in Truth

सत्येन धार्यते पृथ्वी सत्येन तपते रविः।

सत्येन वाति वायुश्च सर्वं सत्ये प्रतिष्ठितम्॥

चाणक्य॥

satyena dhāryate pṛthvī satyena tapate raviḥ|

satyena vāti vāyuśca sarvaṁ satye pratiṣṭhitam||

This earth is held in its right place by truth

The Sun is burning and supplying heat following trtuth

The air is moving around and keeping all alive just bound by truth

Everything has its existence only in Truth

Truth he has its dictionary meaning too ..

Just describing things without distortion or falsification and as they are seen understood..

But the word truth goes far too beyond that

The God himself, Krishna Himself was praised as truth..

सत्यव्रतं सत्यपरं त्रिसत्यं सत्यस्ययोनिं निहतं च सत्ये सत्यस्य सत्यमृतं सत्यनेत्रं, सत्यात्मकं त्वाँ शरणं प्रपन्नः satyavratam satyaparam trisatyam satyasya yonim nihatam cha satye satyasya satyam rta satya netram satyaaatmakam tvaam sharanam prapannaH..

This was how He was welcomed to the earth as He was born to Devaki in Kamsa's prison

Only in an environment of truth, we can have some hope..

We have seen nature and her constituents working as per certain laws.. and the behaviour is repeated precisely, predictably and consistently too.. This is the base for truth.. If nature behaves in a chaotic and unpredictable manner, the whole earth and other systems would not have existed..

In the field of ethics, we believe that if we deviate from the path of truthfulness we are warned that very adverse consequences will follow..

A Harishchandra who could stoically face any tribulations to uphold truth is our role model.

Dharmaptutra, was called so because he was truthful.. and we know when he deviated from the path of truth even slightly his wealth of accumulated fame and virtue dwindled.
