“Satya is about how we use truth
rather than truth in and of itself.”
– Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter Two verse 36

Question to TKV Desikachar on Yama and Niyama:
“The idea behind Yama and Niyama is the attitude we have to the inside and outside.
If I don’t know what is true there is no question of telling the truth.
However there is the intention, because one day it may become a reality.
Even though some of these things are not there in the beginning,
if the intention is sincere then one day it will become an action
if conditions and our psychological state change.
Yama as telling the truth also means discretion.”
– TKV Desikachar France 1983

“If I don’t know what is true,
there is no question of telling the truth.”
