What happens if I lie about small things like when I arrived or why I was absent?

One lie gives birth to many lies

A lie about when you arrived forces you into more lies. So do not lie. The saints say there is no tapasya (austerity) equal to truth.

One lie gives birth to many lies, so brother, our request is: do not tell lies. The saints say there is no penance equal to truth.
