Live in the world like an ant. The world contains a mixture of truth and untruth, sugar and sand. Be an ant and take the sugar. Live like an ant Dr.T.V.Rao MD 2

Truthfulness saves in Kaliyuga:

Even those engaged in worldly activities, such as office work or business, should hold to the truth. Truthfulness alone is the spiritual discipline in the Kaliyuga. Truthfulness saves in Kaliyuga Dr.T.V.Rao MD 3

Truth is reality – accept truth:

If a man holds to truth he will certainly realize God . The world is indeed a mixture of truth and make-believe. Discard the make believe and take the truth. Truth is reality – accept truth Dr.T.V.Rao MD 4

Less of I makes more of god:

The feeling of ego has covered the Truth. Narendra once said, 'As the "I" of man recedes, the "I" of God approaches.' Kedar says, 'The more clay there is in the jar, the less water it holds.'. Less of I makes more of god Dr.T.V.Rao MD 5

Path of knowledge leads to truth :

The path of knowledge leads to Truth, as does the path that combines knowledge and love. The path of love, too, leads to this goal. The way of love is as true as the way of knowledge. All paths ultimately lead to the same Truth. But as long as God keeps the feeling of ego in us, it is easier to follow the path of love Path of knowledge leads to truth Dr.T.V.Rao MD 6

Accept truth – it is Satchidananda:

The Truth established in the Vedas, the Puranas, and the Tantras is but one Satchidananda. In the Vedas It is called Brahman, in the Puranas It is called Krishna, Rama, and so on, and in the Tantras It is called Siva. The one Satchidananda is called Brahman, Krishna, and Siva. Accept truth – it is Satchidananda Dr.T.V.Rao MD 7

God realization possible through practice of truth:

If a man leads a householder's life he must have unflagging devotion to truth. God can be realized through truth alone. God realization possible through practice of truth Dr.T.V.Rao MD 8

Divine consciousness possible through Advaita:

The feeling of 'I and mine' has covered the Reality. Because of this we do not see Truth. Attainment of Chaitanya, Divine Consciousness, is not possible without the knowledge of Advaita, Non-duality. After realizing Chaitanya one enjoys Nityananda, Eternal Bliss. One enjoys this Bliss after attaining the state of a paramahamsa. Divine consciousness possible through Advaita Dr.T.V.Rao MD 9

Truthfulness leads to realization of god:

It is said that truthfulness alone constitutes the spiritual discipline of the Kaliyuga. If a man clings tenaciously to truth he ultimately realizes God. Without this regard for truth, one gradually loses everything. If by chance I say that I will go to the pine-grove, I must go there even if there is no further need of it, lest I lose my attachment to truth. Truthfulness leads to realization of god Dr.T.V.Rao MD 10

truthfulness is tapasya:

Truthfulness in speech is the tapasya of the Kaliyuga. It is difficult to practice other austerities in this cycle. By adhering to truth one attains God. truthfulness is tapasya Dr.T.V.Rao MD 11

Truth is one only – religions are many:

Truth is one; only It is called by different names. All people are seeking the same Truth; the variance is due to climate, temperament, and name. A lake has many Ghats. From one ghat the Hindus take water in jars and call it ' jal '. From another ghat the Mussalmans take water in leather bags and call it ' pani '. From a third the Christians take the same thing and call it 'water'. Truth is one only – religions are many Dr.T.V.Rao MD 12
