Premanand Maharaj Ji
Why is truthfulness so important?
Bhagwan loves a clean, honest mind
Bhagwan says that deceit, fraud and crookedness do not please him, and only a person with a pure mind finds him. Hiding things and saying one thing while thinking another keeps us from the experience of joy in Bhagwan.
This is why Bhagwan says: deceit, fraud and crookedness do not please me; the one with a pure mind finds me.
