Radhanath Swami on What is Truth?

We may be very charitable and honest in our ordinary dealings. But everything is the property of God. If we don’t use things according to His will, we are thieves. Real truthfulness has to be based on the understanding of truth. The truth is that everything is the property of God. We are His parts, and our natural function is that we are His eternal servants. We are supposed to act in the capacity of being His eternal servants. To act on behalf of God in the service of others – that is truth.

  3. A most wonderful exposition of 'Truthfulness' at the absolute level by Radhanath Swami. This clearly explains why spiritual charity of preaching God-consciousness & devotional service ranks much higher than mundane charity work performed to alleviate temporary material adversities.
