Truth and Dharma - Smt. Anasuya Devi, Jillellamudi

Amma: Truth (satya) and dharma – are they the same, or are they two?

Questioner: Both are the same, Amma

Amma: If both are the same, why do they have separate names? Please define both separately – what dharma is, what truth is.

Q. ‘Dharma’ means the conduct prescribed in the scriptures. Everyone has his dharma prescribed there. To live accordingly is his dharma.

Amma: What is truth?

Q. Dharma includes truth.

Amma: Let it be so. You are an elder. I do not know how to ask questions, nor how to conduct myself. I do not understand what I hear. I do not feel that what I hear is true. This is my state.
