AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

We have been following that ‘Honesty is the best policy’. But Honesty can be of two ways – outwardly (towards worldly people) and inwardly (to the Divine). Moreover, at times, telling the truth to men when asked at times can put us in trouble and keeping quiet is not a choice, as it’s either rude or you’re bound to respond. 💯🤨👥🌄[…]

But you don’t want to tell the truth or the lie, nor can you keep quiet. In this situation, how to stay honest even to people, yet not compromising with safety and harmony!?

First, honesty is to be honest with oneself. It means to see the things as they are without gloss or cover.

It is only when we are aware of what is happening in us, our inner motives, etc that we can offer things to the Divine, honestly without trying to give suitable justifications.

Beyond this, there is no other obligation that we have towards anyone. We can politely turn down the request and prefer to remain silent. I think this much privacy is allowed to everyone.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
