Premanand Maharaj Ji
What can I say instead of lying when I don't want to tell something or meet someone?
Say plainly that you won't tell
If you listen to satsang and walk the path of Bhagwan, there is no need to lie. Say plainly that you won't tell or won't meet, and protect your path.
If there is something you don't want to tell, then instead of lying, say clearly: I won't tell you, I don't want to tell.
