SPEAKING THE TRUTH

51. Speaking the Truth ~ 153 ~ nothing is based on untruth. There is nothing which shows itself in any form other than its real form. This is the character of nature, which is spread out on a universal scale. A believer too has exactly the same character. He is totally free from falsehood or double-standards. A believer is all truth. His whole existence is moulded to truth. From the very first he appears to be a true person both inside and out. Speaking the truth is not only a matter of policy for the believer: it is his very religion. Compromising in the matter of truth is not possible for him. He speaks the truth as he cannot live without doing so. He speaks the truth because he knows that not speaking the truth is the negation of his own personality and commitment to something, which is the negation of the self, is not possible for any worthy person.
