DEVOTED TO OBJECT
Truth ‘devoted to an object’ means whatever one has seen, known or experienced about an object or subject should be told in exactly the same manner to others in social dealings. To tell more or less is untruth. Many people for their own publicity, or from fear, or under compulsion tell more of less than what they have actually seen, known or experienced.

DEVOTED TO PROMISE
Truth ‘devoted to promise’ means to whatever one has promised to someone else at whatever cost. Promise may be either small or big, but there should be complete devotion in adhering to it. If promise is given in secret, even then it should also be followed up even when circumstances are changed. For example, in common social dealings when appointment is given to someone, then it should adhered to for the sake of remaining devoted to truth even though it may be small matter. Similarly, after having given a promise secretly when no witnesses are present should be followed up in adverse circumstances also. (The seat of SAKSHIGOPAL i.e. the seat of witness God Gopal near Jagannath temple in Orissa in Eastern India is the highest example of such a case.)

DEVOTED TO VOW
Truth ‘devoted to vow’ means to follow up completely small or big vows or ‘Niyam’ one has decided to observe in life. In spirituality, vows and ‘Niyams’ have a very significant importance. But, in secluded life also, one should go on observing small ‘Niyams’. For example, small ‘Niyams’ (rules) like ‘Niyam’ of watering the trees, ‘Niyam’ of feeding grains to pigeons and ‘Niyams’ for maintenance of one’s health. Observance of small ‘Niyams’ helps strengthen the observance of major ‘Niyams’. Observance of major ‘Niyams’ is to be maintained unbroken at any place and time. However, there can be exception to the ‘Niyams’.
