When we know and acknowledge our faults it looses its strength. Just as we feel small when we are caught stealing personally or lying, accepting our faults with knowledge, love, devotion and with the purpose of reducing it, tends to decrease the strength and tendency of our faults. Experienced holy and knowledgable men in the past found that it is very helpful to use self narration at the feet of God regarding whatever bothers us. When we self narrate at His feet the things that bother us, with deep pain and love in our hearts and ask for His help and grace, our hearts get filled up with bhavna. When this bhavna expresses itself in our hearts, our hearts get filled up with easiness, openness and softness automatically. For these reasons we should never give in to our faults and hypocrisy.
