Athipattha Nayanar

• "Man is not travelling from error to truth, but climbing up from truth to truth, from truth that is lower to truth that is higher” – Swami Vivekananda

• Arrogance of knowledge keeps one deprived of truth, dear friends. – Moulana Jallaluddin Rumi

• For a man who always speaks the truth, there is no need at all for other virtues. – Thirukkural

• There is no pursuit higher than that of practising truth in thought, word and deed.

• Truth is one, sages call it differently.

• Oh, when will dawn for me that day of blessedness When He who is all Good, all Beauty, and all Truth, Will light the inmost shrine of my heart?

• Truthfulness alone is the (tapasya)spiritual discipline in the Kaliyuga. If a man clings tenaciously to truth he ultimately realizes God. Without this regard for truth, one gradually loses everything.

• The feeling of 'I and mine' has covered the Reality. Because of this we do not see Truth.

• Live in the world like an ant. The world contains a mixture of truth and untruth, sugar and sand. Be an ant and take the sugar.

• Why seek truth?• We want fear and doubt to end

We want clarity and understandingWe want certainty in lifeWe want lasting happiness

• It's the truth, which sets you free, and you don't have to keep looking over your shoulder.

• Speak Vs Seek Truth• Speaking and Seeking Truth – Two wings

of a bird which loves to fly.
