All the animate and inanimate forms that we see in this world are embodiments of peace. The physical forms of all living beings are the embodiments of beauty. Divinity, which is the embodiment of Satyam, Shivam, and Sundaram (truth, goodness and beauty), is present in all elements and in all living beings as the principle of Oneness. The same was stated by Plato, the mentor of Aristotle, hundreds of years before Christ. He said that truth, goodness, and beauty formed the basis of the world. Truth is the basis of everything. Trikalabadhyam satyam (truth remains unchanged in the three periods of time —past, present, and future). Goodness is the real Divinity. In fact, goodness is godliness. Though people are endowed with the principle of Satyam Shivam Sundaram, they are unable to realise their own truth, beauty, and goodness. Only when one realises the principles of truth, goodness, and beauty can one understand the true meaning of humanness. – Divine Discourse, Jul 15, 1996
