Chapter 16
Satyam:- Troth, consists in speaking agreeable words, honestly and faithfully, of what has been heard, seen or experienced, for the welfare of others, and by giving up selfishness and pride. A striver, remains true through his mind, speech and actions, because his only aim, is to realize the Truth namely God.
Akrodhah:-Excitement caused, in mind to do evil to others, is anger. This burning sensation of the mind finds outer expression in the form of a burning sensation, in the body. Freedom from anger, is 'Akrodha'. If there is no feeling to do evil to others tell them it is mere excitement not angers.
A striver, having God-realization as the aim of his life, is not angry, even with those who do him wrong. He thinks that he is receiving the fruit of his wrong actions, in the form of pain or unfavourable circumstances. Such persons become instrumental in purifying him, of his sins. They are, rather his benefactors, who are warning him to be careful, in future. They are just like a surgeon, who performs an operation on a diseased part, to make it healthy.
