Sat is the virtue of truthful living, which means practising "righteousness, honesty, justice, impartiality and fair play."
The Lord's humble servants are True — they practice Truth, and reflect upon the Word of the Guru's Shabad. The True Lord God unites them with Himself, and they keep the True Lord enshrined in their hearts. O Nanak, through the Name, I have obtained salvation and understanding; this alone is my wealth.
— Guru Granth Sahib, page 600

How pleasant it is to have money, heigh ho!
How pleasant it is to have money.”
