Sai Baba Gita - Truth and Good Character - The very Breath of Life

[Guest guest]

XXVI. Truth and Good Character - The very Breath of Life

Krishna said, "Wherever there is exemplary behavior, wherever there is

righteousness and sacredness, wherever duty and truth are adhered to, there

will be victory. When you conduct yourself in an honorable way, when you live

by the principles of right conduct, those very principles will protect you.

Arjuna! Always live a sacred and honorable life. Then you will be leading a

life that is truly worthwhile."

 

Embodiments of Love,

There are seven facets to living a sacred life, which are like the seven colors

contained in the rays of the sun. They make up the standards of virtuous

behavior and moral excellence which are the very fabric of spiritual life. The

first facet is truth. The second facet is good character. The third is right

conduct. The fourth is sense-control. The fifth is conscious living with

emphasis on restraining one's desires. The sixth is renunciation or detachment,

and the seventh is nonviolence. All of these principles of right living have

been laid down for the protection of the individual and for the well-being of

society. Collectively they are referred to as dharma or righteousness.
