Satya (Sanskrit: satyam) loosely translates into English as "truth" or "correct", also called ultimate truth. Satya is also defined in Sanskrit as "sate hitam satyam" which translates to "All that takes you closer to sat (i.e. Param Atma) is satya (i.e. the real truth)". Hence all the deeds, words, and wisdom that takes closer to the almighty are the truth.
