Truth Satyam
(1) Truth is not stagnant and unchanging. Nature changes continuously. As part, limb and sprout of nature you are also changing or growing or aging continuously. So, truth also grows, gathers more phenomena of meanings and feelings. It must also be discarding the old meanings. (2) Two plus two is equal to four. The basic assumption is that both the ‘Twos’ remain unchanged before their addition into the definite unchanging four. Both Twos remain unchanged with all atoms and particles intact and they remain cooperating to the process of addition, gradually transforming into the new unit Four. All the other, atoms, particles and molecules do not interfere into this addition process. The process is completely mechanical with no emotions or feelings involved and this isolated process in the universe is possible. The Universe does not interfere.Is this supposed basic mathematics really possible? Then for how long can the four remain intact? And how can any additions happen in the Vacuum where there is nothing and as the Universe mainly is vacuum? (2A) You live in emotions and feelings, the changing mixture of diverse emotions. Can you create exactly two units of happiness and add to another exact unit two of happiness and get four units of happiness exactly and precisely, without every other emotion interfering? (2B) The very idea of Super symmetry at the particle level of fermions etc is only speculation, and assumption based for convenience in mathematics to justify the standard model, created as the foundation of creation. (2D) But we casually use the phrase ‘Mathematical Exactitude’. Is it not really fantasy? Then how is mechanical Engineering constituted? YM Sarma Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx KR (1) I presume here the word TRUTH IS EQUIVALENT TO OR SAME AS THE NATURE. However, PRAKRTITI THE NATURE IS MAYA AND NOT TRUTH THE SATYAM. Truth is eternal but Prakriti disappears and reappeaers only as a Maya though exist in an unknown shape of matter. TRUTH remains permanent. In Rigveda, opposed to rita and satya are anrita and asatya (falsehood). Truth and truthfulness are considered as a form of reverence for the divine, while falsehood a form of sin. Satya includes action and speech that is factual, real, true, and reverent to Ṛta in Books 1, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 10 of Rigveda. Truth--Satyam In Hinduism <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism>, Truth is defined as “unchangeable”, eternal, “that which is beyond distinctions of time, space, and person”, “that which pervades the universe in all its constancy”, infinite and unchanging. There are many references, properties and explanations of truth by Hindu sages that explain varied facets of truth. But anything that changes cannot be completely true. The human body, for example, therefore is not completely true as it changes with time, is subject to death and belongs to a changing reality. *Satya* is the Sanskrit <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit> word for truth <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth>. The highest truth can mean God Himself, or it can mean an ethical virtue, being true and consistent with reality in one’s thought, speech and action. In Yoga, *satya* is listed as one of the five yamas <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamas> which are considered to be basic for all spiritual sadhana: These are ahimsa (non-injury), satya, (truthfulness), asteya (lack of greed), brahmacharya,(self-control) and aparigraha (non-grasping or accumulating things). Satya is sometimes translated as the virtuous restraint from falsehood and distortion of reality in one’s expressions and actions. Those two fundamental human tasks—telling the truth and knowing the truth—have a close, relationship to one another. When you tell the truth, you practice the essentially spiritual skill of knowing it first. When you lie, either to others or to yourself, you blur the boundaries of the truth. Lying robs you of that internal ability for recognition of the truth we all naturally have, and diminishes your ability to recognize the truth when you see it. One person says *Satyam* means the truth – not what you think about it, but what it is; not your idea about it, but its reality. To know this truth *you* have to be utterly absent. Your very presence will distort the vision, because your presence means the presence of your mind, your prejudices, your conditionings. You are nothing else but a bundle of all that has been forced upon you by your family, religion, by the society, by the so-called leaders of humanity. Your absence means absence of all prejudices, all borrowed knowledge, just a pure sky, a pure being. This absence of you is your real presence. Only the prejudices are absent, the ego is absent, your knowingness is absent – but your being shows in its utter purity. You disappear as a personality and there remains only a pure presence. So it is absence on one side of all that is false in you, and it is presence on the other side of all that is real in you. In this state you simply see. This seeing of existence is the first experience of the mystic seer contained in the word satyam. Satyam means the truth – not any conception about it, but truth itself. *Satya* is a central theme in the Vedas. It is equated with and considered necessary to the concept of Ṛta <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E1%B9%9Ata> (Sanskrit ऋतं ṛtaṃ) – that which is properly joined, order, rule, nature, balance, harmony. Ṛta results from Satya in the Vedas, as it regulates and enables the operation of the universe and everything within it. Satya (truth) is considered essential, and without it, the universe and reality falls apart, cannot function. The word sat, in Sanskrit, means “that which exists, that which is.” Satya, in turn, means “truthfulness”—seeing and reporting things as they really are rather than the way we would like them to be. People often think they alone know what the Truth is. Everyone has their own idea of what the truth is because it is shaded by their own ideas about themselves and how they view what is around them. In Western thought commonly, truth is viewed as the correspondence of language <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language> or thought <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought> to an independent or objective reality <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality>. Western philosophers have many different ways of viewing Truth. Thomas Aquinas said : “A judgment is said to be true when it conforms to the external reality”. Thus, for Aquinas, the truth of the human intellect (logical truth) is based on the truth in things (ontological truth). *Veritas est adæquatio intellectus et rei. *(Truth is the conformity of the intellect and things.) Emmanuel Kant counters this however by saying: “Truth, it is said, consists in the agreement of cognition with its object. In consequence of this mere nominal definition, my cognition, to count as true, is supposed to agree with its object. Now I can compare the object with my cognition, however, only *by cognizing it*. Hence my cognition is supposed to confirm itself, which is far short of being sufficient for truth. For since the object is outside me, the cognition in me, all I can ever pass judgement on is whether my cognition of the object agrees with my cognition of the object.” This points out the basic flaw in making truth something intellectual at all. There are many other theories about the nature of truth put forth by Western philosophers, beginning with the ancient Greek philosophers, Socrates <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socrates>, Plato <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato> and Aristotle. According to Martin Heidegger <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Heidegger>, the original meaning and essence <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essence> of truth in Ancient Greece <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greece> was “unconcealment, or the revealing or bringing of what was previously hidden into the open.” >From a Vedantic point of view this could be thought of as revealing the Atman which is within us all. This is an interesting point no doubt, but in the talk today I really want to narrow our discussion of Truth down to the term Satya in Hindu thought. Immediatelly the basic question arises: What is the view about reality in Hindu philosophy? In Hinduism there are several different levels of Reality recognized and all are “True”, to some extent. They are all called satya, each with a modifying adjective. The highest Reality or *Satyasa satya* (truth of truth) is considered to be the only unchanging, permanent reality, Sat, or God itself. This is *Paramartika Satya *or the highest reality. Brihadaranaka Upanishad 2:1:20 tells us: “As a spider moves along the thread it produces, or as from a fire little sparks scatter in all directions, just so from this Self issue all organs, all worlds, all gods and all living beings. “ * Tasyopanisat satyasya satya smiti/* * prana vai satyam tesa mesa satyam/* Its secret name is Satyasasatya, Truth of truth. The vital force is truth, and It is the Truth of that.” *Pratibasika satya *is reflection of the emitted light. This stage is like dream when the experienced objective existence is non-different from the experiencing subject but the subject is unaware of the oneness of objects, the dream reality. *Vyavaharika satya*is transactional reality. This is what most of us in the West consider to be real. To make our actions possible, the complete distinction between the objects and subject need to be drawn. Here the senses are active and we take their input to be true and act accordingly. This is the reality of science where things can be experienced and measured by the senses, and which is ruled by the laws of time space and causation. It is often hard for a scientist to make the leap from a reality which can be measured, to one which can cannot. Swami Ramakrishnananda once said: “Those scientists who are earnest seekers after Truth, are sure to realize soon. Those are far from Truth who are bound only by their sense nature. Ramakrishna tells us that it is I and Mine alone that cover the face of Truth. These make this transactional reality seem very real, because this is where the ego “hangs out” as it were. Swami Shivananda tells us: “Unfortunately, in this world of phenomena there is nothing that remains unchanged for a second. Now with the idea of finding the ultimate truth, if we push our analysis further, we shall see that back of the changeable phenomena is the immutable Brahman. First, gross objects, then subtle and subtler objects –whatever we analyze in the outer world- we fail to find any permanence in them. Baffled we finally turn within ourselves. This self-withdrawal or abstraction is the only way to the knowledge of Brahman or the Supreme Reality.” At the highest level, the seed consciousness “sat” is the root of everything else. That is the highest reality, *paramarthika satya*. Here “mind turns back along with speech” Taittirya II 9. “To the wise man, neither heaven, nor hell nor earth exists. He knows that there is but one Truth and that is here and now. He sees the glory of his own Supreme Self and nothing else.” *Satya* or Truth is a widely discussed in various Upanishads, including the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brihadaranyaka_Upanishad> where *satya* is called the means to Brahman <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahman>, as well as Brahman itself, Sat (Being, or true self) or in the Svetasvatara Upanishad where Brahman is called, Satya, Truth, Shivam, Auspiciousness, and Sundara, the Beautiful One. Again in the Taittiriya Upanishad Brahman is called Satya, Jnana, Ananta, Brahman. 2 When two or more atoms join together chemically, a molecule is formed. A molecule can be made from atoms of the same element or it can be made from atoms of different elements. If the molecule contains different kinds of atoms, it can also be called a compound. Two or more elements combine to form a compound. A compound is a substance formed when two or more chemical elements are chemically bonded together. Two types of chemical bonds common in compounds are covalent and ionic bonds. 2B,2C When two or more atoms are joined together chemically then a molecule is formed. The combination of atoms that are of two or different elements forms a compound. Every compound is a molecule but not every molecule is a compound. The compound water is formed when one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms combine. Molecules are also the cluster of atoms that are linked together by covalent bonds. Molecular compounds are the compounds that exist as molecules. The actual number of atoms that are present in a molecule is shown by it. Now, let’s understand how atoms are joined together. Molecules could either be linked together by a covalent bond or an ionic bond. Many elements are non-metal and exist only as molecules in the environment like hydrogen, it only exists as a hydrogen molecule. A molecule that is formed with two or more atoms of a single element is homonuclear. The formation of a molecule happens when atoms come together because of their electrons. It could be done by electrons in two ways. When there is sharing of electrons between two atoms, they are bonded together by that sharing. These bonds are called covalent bonds. *So, A group of atoms held together by chemical bonds is molecules. So molecules can also detached changeable; so it’s a matter destructible, alterable. * 2D Poornamadha poornamidham ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात्पूर्णमुदच्यते ।पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ॥ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥ Om Puurnnam-Adah Puurnnam-Idam Puurnnaat-Puurnnam-Udacyate | Puurnnasya Puurnnam-Aadaaya Puurnnam-Eva-Avashissyate || Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih || Meaning: 1: Om, that (Outer World) is Purna (Full with Divine Consciousness); This (Inner World) is also Purna (Full with Divine Consciousness); From Purna is manifested Purna (From the Fullness of Divine Consciousness the World is manifested), 2: Taking Purna from Purna, Purna indeed remains (Because Divine Consciousness is Non-Dual and Infinite), 3: Om, Peace, Peace, Peace. Truth is eternal and poornam; Prakriti Maya 2 by 2 molecules remain 2+2 as a molecule, poornam as long as it is not parted. Even mathematically 2 and 2 remains unaltererd changin into 4 but 4 contained both 2s unless we split to 1 and 3. Poornam is Maya as well as THE SATYAM.
