सत्यं ब्रूयात् प्रियम् ब्रूयात् न ब्रूयात् सत्यमप्रियं
-प्रियंच् नान्रुतम् ब्रूयात् येशः धर्म सनातनः
సత్యం బ్రూయాత్ ప్రియం బ్రూయాత్ న బ్రూయాత్ సత్యమప్రియం
ప్రియంచ నాన్రుతం బ్రూయాత్ ఏష దర్మః సనాతనః
satyam bruyat priyam bruyat na bruyat satyam apriyam
priyam ca nanrutam bruyat esha dharmah sanatanah
Speak truth in such a way that it should be pleasing to others. Never speak truth, which is unpleasant to others. Never speak untruth, which might be pleasant. This is the path of eternal morality, sanatana dharma.
To speak truth is an eternal value irrespective of time and place. But the expression of truth should be accompanied by two conditions. Firstly, it should be presented in a loving manner and secondly it should be spoken for the betterment of others. How you speak is as important as what is said. Priyam means speech that does not hurt others. Hitam is something that is said for the good or betterment of others. One should be careful of speaking truth but not hurting others.
We should be careful in speaking the truth. The purpose should be good and the words used and the manners in which they are spoken are important. So the value of truthfulness is relative to a situation. According to the Indian scriptures while living in the world of relativity truth can be interpreted in many ways.
Truth is simple and straight. To tell a lie, one has to pretend and strain the mind to choose choicest words, and to cover one lie, one has to invent 100 more lies, but in the case of truth, it is just simple and one word. Then, one is free from all mental agonies.
