Truth
This month we are studying truth. It is the second yama or abstention. Truth means to conduct our thoughts, words and action in harmony with each other. Words that harm are not truthful. They should not be spoken. Examine your words before you speak and only utter them if they are useful and good. In other words if you don’t have something good to say be quiet. Remember that truth is not fixed. Truth can take on different meanings within different cultures.
When it comes to the truth remember these two things;
Speak only with no intention to harm; look at truth as it exist within you and how your truth relates to the whole of life.
The practice of truthfulness produces a steady mind, truthful words and harmonious actions. Be true to yourself and live a harmonious life.
