Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
यज्ञ, तप और दान में स्थिरता को भी 'सत्' कहा जाता है। उस परमात्मा के लिए किया जाने वाला कर्म भी 'सत्' कहलाता है।
English Translation
Steadfastness in sacrifice, austerity, and charity is also called 'Sat.' Action performed for the sake of the Supreme is likewise designated as 'Sat.'
Commentary (टीका)
Sat applies not only to the acts themselves but to the firmness and dedication with which they are performed. When sacrifice, austerity, and charity are done with unwavering commitment to the Divine, they truly embody Sat. This verse completes the teaching on how Om Tat Sat sanctifies all spiritual endeavor.
