The term Indus Sankrit defines the oldest documented and the particular use of the Sanskrit language in the inscriptions of the Indus Civilization Harappa Culture from the time of ca. BC 2500 BC 1900. At least 2500 known texts were found written on various archeological founds at hundreds of sites of the Indus Civilization mainly in today India and Pakistan , some others in Afghanistan and in the countries around the Persian Gulf . The used Indus Script is of the pictographic syllabic type like the most archaic scripts, as well as several east Asian scripts until today. Contents of the Indus Inscriptions The most texts contain short highly efficient statements of three till six signs words.

Its negation asat consequently refers to nonexistence and falsehood. In Sikhism SikhBeliefs See Satnam In Sikhism , Sat is the most important virtue which Sikh s try to develop during their life. God is Truth and by trying to practise truth i.e. live a truthful life , Sikhs believe that they can live in accordance with God s will hukam which teaches that Truth is not just about speaking the truth but also about recognizing and living in line with the true nature of reality . Acting justly towards others, honesty, treating everyone as equals and avoiding criticising others are all examples of truthful living for Sikhs. Sikhs believe that human beings must work at developing all the God like qualities they have in order to truly love God. Love of God is not just a feeling but always involves showing love for God by selfless service to God s creation. A person who is Gurmukh does not act out of selfishness but, by focusing on God acts out of compassion for others and becomes the slave of the Lord s slaves.
