BODHAYANTI PARASPARAM VOL 5
These laws are universal. Unaffected by time, place, birth, or circumstance, together they constitute the "Great Laws of Life." It is well known that for not telling the Truth, Brahma was cursed by Siva as unworthy of worship and consequently there are no temples for Brahma.
Even as Death, Truth always succeeds in the end. Denial of the truth will make any person soon discover that such a game of life meets with undesirable consequences. As a matter of fact Truth and Reality are the same in a very practical sense. In our daily parlance we in fact use these words interchangeably.
We should note that facts are facts and they are entirely different from our perceptions of the facts. Both are powerful and serve a purpose. However we should know the difference. We should know that true honesty, self-respect, trust, and character are facts built on truth or reality and not on our perceptions.
