True is the one who abides in Truth.
ਸਚੀ ਬਾਣੀ ਜੁਗ ਚਾਰੇ ਜਾਪੈ ॥

ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਸਾਚਾ ਆਪੇ ਆਪੈ ॥੧॥

The True One Himself is everything. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
True is the place where the mind grows clean. True is the person who lives in truth. The true Word has been known through every age. The True One is, itself, everything there is.
True is the place, the person, the Word -- and the True One is, itself, everything.
A meditation on sach: the place, the person, the Word, and finally the One -- all true. The escalation ends in non-duality: the True One is everything. Truth is not a rule but the very fabric of reality.
