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,

Spiritual evolution has been going on since some time now. Its eventual purpose is to evolve humanity beyond the vital-mental man he now is to the spiritual and eventually the divine superhumanity of the future. Until now this spiritual evolution was confined to a few prominent personalities who tried to communicate it to the followers who almost invariably reduced it to a Religion with mental rules and regulations. Nevertheless mankind …

A strange dream just before I woke up this morning: I saw that I was consoling my father, hugging him about a situation where he was soon going to die, and at that time I felt a sensation of a very big snake passing by as if its body touched me; I also heard its hissing sound and saw its big tail end. 🐍💭[…]

This seems to be a premonitory dream and the snake seems to be ‘Kaalsarp’ (Time-snake) that chases us. We can either heed to its warning and evolve swiftly or else get paralysed with fear. So it seems that your father (and you too by default) has entered this phase of either an evolutionary leap or else a succumbing down to the evolutionary pressure and the challenges…
