Bageshwar Dham Sarkar
Why is deceit (kapat) and pretending to be what you are not harmful on the spiritual path?
Bhagwan loves the one without deceit
Bhagwan holds dear the person free of chhal (trickery) and kapat (deceit), and a pure mind attains Him. Kapat is the scheming we do for a little passing pleasure.
"A person with a pure mind attains Me; I do not like deceit, trickery and faults." Bhagwan loves the person free of deceit and trickery.
