TRUTHFULNESS

If you are truthful in thought and word you are superior to one who undergoes penances and gives gifts. Truthfulness earns the esteem of the world besides bringing in its train the merit of every other virtue without the physical privations of penance. Water makes external cleanliness. Truthfulness is the detergent of the heart. Lamps do not give the light that holy men desire. It is the light of truth illuminates their path.
