Premanand Maharaj Ji
Why should I not lie if I follow the path of bhakti?
Truth is the form of Bhagwan
Because we walk the path of Bhagwan, and truth is Bhagwan's own form, we should keep to truth in everyday dealings, business and social life. Lying for selfish, small worldly gains is sin, and with effort and practice everything can be set right.
We should walk only on truth, because we are travellers on the path of Bhagwan. Our life is in Bhagwan. And truth is the very form of Bhagwan.
