The Yoga of the Threefold Faith

Krishna explains how SAT is used in spiritual practices. 'Sad-bhāve sādhu-bhāve ca sad ity etat prayujyate'—the word SAT (sat iti etat) is used (prayujyate) in the sense of Truth (sat-bhāve) and goodness (sādhu-bhāve). 'Praśaste karmaṇi tathā sat-śabdaḥ pārtha yujyate'—also (tathā) in praiseworthy (praśaste) actions (karmaṇi), the word SAT (sat-śabdaḥ) is used (yujyate), O son of Pritha (pārtha). SAT means Truth, Existence, and Goodness. When you use SAT, you affirm that your actions are true, good, and praiseworthy. SAT sanctifies actions by connecting them to Truth and goodness. Understanding this helps you recognize the importance of SAT in affirming the truth and goodness of your actions.
