Satya, one of the five yamas (restraints) in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra,
means "truthfulness." Just because something is true, however, does not
mean that it needs to be said! Being thoughtful with your words and
avoiding harsh language and hurtful gossip is just as important as
speaking the truth when practicing satya.
Ask yourself these three questions to help determine whether something should be said: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
Through practicing satya you can not only sweeten your own life, but also "contribute to the well-being of the whole world."
