Our Life Should Set an Example of Honesty


Only the path of truth shall lead us to God. Whoever deems himself or herself as a devotee of Baba should be honest and strict in his or her dealings. If we tell a lie, however small or big it may be, no one would trust us even when we speak the truth later. Once a son shouted, "Father! Tiger has come; save me". The busy father, working in the fields far away, rushed to his son's rescue. The mischievous son thus twice lied to his father. When the tiger did really come, the father turned a deaf ear doubting his mischievous son's call. Thus, the son who lied to his father got killed by the tiger. Conventional wisdom tells us that castles built on falsehood would tumble down. If the words of brick are mixed with the cement of truth, the edifice of life will remain strong forever. By experience we come to know that the life of one who always lies is like a pack of cards. Whatever work we undertake in life is like the seed that determines the fruits we enjoy in future. We ourselves have to bear the bad consequences of our deeds done by speaking lies.

We can reach Baba only by making our life tread the path of truth and upright conduct. Truth and righteousness should be treated as our two eyes and peace and non-violence as our two legs. We should love God and treat our fellow beings and all creatures equally as embodiments of God.
