Bhagavad Gita 17.26

सद्भावे साधुभावे च सदित्येतत्प्रयुज्यते।प्रशस्ते कर्मणि तथा सच्छब्दः पार्थ युज्यते॥

sad-bhāve sādhu-bhāve cha sad ity etat prayujyate praśhaste karmaṇi tathā sach-chhabdaḥ pārtha yujyate

Translation

" Sat " is used in the sense of reality and goodness; likewise, O Pârtha, the word " Sat " is used in the sense of a good work.

What it means

The word Sat is used in the sense of reality and of goodness; it is also used for an auspicious act, O Partha. Truth and goodness share one word. Language itself testifies that the real and the good are the same.

Try this today

Sat affirms: the real and the good share one word.
