Truth

Tattva-vit tu maha-baho guna-karma-vibhagayoh, guna guneshu vartanta iti matva na sajjate

But one who knows the truth, O mighty-armed, about the division of the modes of nature and their actions, understands that it is merely the modes acting upon modes, and does not become attached.

Bhaktyā tv ananyayā śhakya aham evaṁ-vidho 'rjuna, jñātuṁ draṣhṭuṁ cha tattvena praveṣhṭuṁ cha parantapa

Only through exclusive devotion can I be known as I am, seen directly, and entered into, O Arjuna.

Ahimsa satyam akrodhas tyagah shantir apaishunam, daya bhuteshv aloluptvam mardavam hrir achapalam

Non-violence, truthfulness, absence of anger, renunciation, tranquility, absence of slander, compassion toward all, absence of greed, gentleness, modesty, and steadiness.

Anudvega-karam vakyam satyam priya-hitam cha yat, svadhyayabhyasanam chaiva van-mayam tapa ucyate

Speech that does not cause distress, is truthful, pleasant, beneficial, and includes the regular recitation of scriptures—this is said to be austerity of speech.

Om tat sad iti nirdeso brahmanas tri-vidhah smritah, brahmanas tena vedas cha yajnas cha vihitah pura

Om Tat Sat—these three designations are used to indicate the Supreme Absolute Truth. By these, the Vedas, priests, and sacrifices were established in ancient times.

sad-bhave sadhu-bhave ca sad ity etat prayujyate, prasaste karmani tatha sac-chabdah partha yujyate

The word 'Sat' is used in the sense of reality and goodness, and it is also used for auspicious acts, O Partha. Sat expresses the eternal and the truly excellent.

Bhaktyā mām abhijānāti yāvān yaśh chāsmi tattvataḥ, tato māṁ tattvato jñātvā viśhate tad-anantaram

Only through devotion can one know Me as I am, in truth. Having known Me in essence, one immediately enters into Me.
