Principled behaviour makes you a true human being, while unprincipled behaviour makes you an unpredictable character, one capable of inhuman behaviour. Unprincipled behaviour can give you some benefits, but these are of a temporary nature. Permanent benefits can be achieved only through principled behaviour. Sincere people are able to receive divine inspiration. Sincerity develops one’s spirituality, while insincerity ruins one’s personality. The insincere person fails to have spiritual experiences in his life. The greatest drawback of unprincipled behaviour is that it is like a form of psychological suicide. One who opts for the insincere path first kills his conscience, for without suppressing one's conscience one cannot be insincere in their behaviour. Conscience is a moral watchdog in life. It is the finest gift of nature. One who goes against conscience is making a self-destructive choice. One should keep conscience alive by listening to the inner voice. This inner voice is the voice of conscience. Going against one's conscience is not easy. It is this behaviour that creates what is called tension or stress. If one wants to live with a tension free mind, one should listen to the voice of their conscience and follow it without any reservation. Sincerity is not a single value. Sincerity combines all good human values. Where there is sincerity, there are all kinds of moral beauty. In contrast, insincerity makes one ugly. o NOTICE Subscribers are requested to inform us about non-receipt of their copies, latest by 15th of the month, providing their full name and address.
