In plain words
Learning is for Vijñāna. Labour is for food. Learning is not for the belly. Learning must first reach the head. From the head it must come to the heart. From the heart it must come into the hand. This is what they called EHV. But I do not agree; I call it 3HV. Head, Heart, Hand. We must take this matter into the head. Here we must use discrimination. We must inquire, ‘Is it good or bad, wrong or right?’ Once your mind is convinced, you must take it to the heart. That itself is the conscience. Then you must enter into action. To put whatever you think straight into action is a great fault. Whatever you think, you must weigh with discrimination. Only after that should you enter into duty. The oneness of these three is itself true humanness.
What does not change in past, future and present: that alone is Satya
Today people give many kinds of commentary on Satya. They think Satya is telling what is as it is, what was heard as it was heard, what was seen as it was seen. This is not real Satya. Satya means ‘Trikālabādhyam satyam’. What does not change in past, future and present time, that alone is Satya. That is what they call transparent truth. What we see in the world today is outward truth. Ordinary truth, worldly truth. Spiritual Satya is the Ātma. That alone is our real Satya. It must come from there, from that conscience. Where did this conscience come from? This is what they call awareness. This conscience came from consciousness. This consciousness fills everything, everywhere. This is what the Bhagavad Gītā described: ‘With hands and feet everywhere, with eyes, heads and faces everywhere, with ears everywhere in the world, It stands, enveloping all.’ What does not change in past, future and present is Satya. Telling what is as it is, what was heard as it was heard, what was seen as it was seen, is merely fact. Fact means describing a thing just as it was when you saw it. It is not right to call fact Satya.
