सद्भावे साधुभावे च सदित्येतत्प्रयुज्यते । प्रशस्ते कर्मणि तथा सच्छब्दः पार्थ युज्यते ॥ २६ ॥
sad-bhāve sādhu-bhāve cha sad ity etat prayujyate praśhaste karmaṇi tathā sach-chhabdaḥ pārtha yujyate
Translation
The word "Sat" is used in the sense of reality and goodness; and likewise, O Parth, the word "Sat" is used for a praiseworthy act.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
हे पार्थ! "सत्" शब्द सत्य (अस्तित्व) और श्रेष्ठता (साधुता) के भाव में प्रयुक्त होता है, और इसी प्रकार उत्तम कर्म के लिए भी "सत्" शब्द का प्रयोग होता है।
Commentary
Sat has two meanings that the verse deliberately joins: "that which is" (reality) and "that which is good." In Indian thought the real and the good are finally one. Words like satya (truth), sadhu (good person) and satsang (good company) all grow from this root.
