Sadhana starts with an introversion of the mind in the beginning, but in the end, the result achieved is not simply internal but infinite. From the point of view of the individual, it is said that this Atman is realised in one's own heart, in the form of a splendid effulgence, perfectly pure and limitless in its nature, which is realised only by those who are free from attachments and sins, desires and all kinds of greed. This realisation is effected through the practice of virtues like truth enumerated above. Sankara is of the opinion that only a Sannyasin, i.e., a person of complete renunciation will be able to achieve this Supreme End which requires of the aspirant a total transcendence of the universe. Through truth the divine path is spread out by which the sages whose desires have been completely fulfilled, reach to where is that supreme treasure of Truth.
Truth is more than truth-speaking.
Truth is the symbol of perfection, a representation of the Divine Being. Adherence to truth means embracing the universal nature of the Reality. Therefore, truth wins a victory everywhere. Truth is the essence of the Universal movement consisting of evolution and involution. Untruth is negative, whereas truth is positive.
