| The first of
these virtues is truth, and speaking it factually, as seen, heard, understood and
experienced by one self. It should not hurt others. It also involves looking at all, with
equanimous eyes. This goes by the name Satya. The next is sympathy for the sufferings of others, be they friends or foes, in total disregard of inconvenience to oneself. It involves the ready offer of asylum to others at all costs. This is called Daya. The third virtue consists in the strict observance of austerities
like fasting. It is known as Tapas. |
