Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Honesty is an important part of the mature spiritual devotee. This does not mean that you must be honest all the time, but it means that you cannot lie to yourself. _You_ know when you are being dishonest. No problem with writing lies. No problem in hiding stuff about yourself. All those dirty little secrets only you know about. Only look at all this charade. Ask yourself: is this me? Or is it conditioning playing itself out. You may take your embarrassments for granted as being a part of you, and yes, they _are_ a part of you, but so is the sun! It's only that certain things appear closer to you than other things. Do you think I am talking to you as you were a child? But you _are_ a child! You are not even born yet! Hahahahahahaha!!! /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The liar at the eye doctor: The doctor: Do you see well; Yes said the blind! ha ha ha! The doctor says; Then, you don't need me! See you next life! Al, at the eye doctor: Doctor my eyes don't see that well? I think it is possible for me to see better? Well I think? The doctor: Wash your eyes with divine water every morning you will see better soon! Without honesty ... You are dead meat!
