When truth-speaking leads another to dishonour, injury and pain, it is no longer a virtue. Then it becomes a deadly sin. Speak what is true. Speak what is pleasant. Speak no disagreeable truth, speak no agreeable falsehood.
Truth always exists in a pure unmixed state.
Truth includes self-restraint, absence of jealousy, forgiveness, patience, endurance, kindness, love. Peace is truth. Truth is peace. If you want to attain peace, be truthful at all times. Mind is exalted by truthfulness.
