Premanand Maharaj Ji
Why does one lie lead to more lies, and how do I get out of that trap?
Hiding a mistake leads to more lies
Speaking the truth is supremely auspicious, but it is very hard, and to fix a matter quickly we feel a lie will do it. One hidden mistake forces more mistakes and more lies. Had we not made the first mistake, we would have conquered lying.
Sometimes a mistake happens that we know is a mistake, but to hide it we have to commit more mistakes. We have to lie.
