Premanand Maharaj Ji
How do deceit and lying keep me from feeling Bhagwan's joy, and how can I correct this?
Give up deceit, confess the fault
Lying is called a sin, and a mind that hides things and says one thing outside while thinking another inside does not feel Bhagwan's joy. Admit your fault and accept the punishment, and the sin is destroyed.
But we are very deceitful and hide many things; something goes on inside and we speak something else outside. That is why Bhagwan says, deceit and trickery do not please me, the person with a pure mind attains me.
