This name Sattyam consists of three syllables, sat-tî-yam. Sat signifies the immortal, t, the mortal, and with yam he binds both. Because he binds both, the immortal and the mortal, therefore it is yam. He who knows this goes day by day into heaven (svarga).

In plain words: The word Satyam is split into three parts. 'Sat' means what never dies, 't' means what dies, and 'yam' ties the two together. A person who understands this goes into heaven each day.
