HYPOCRISY - NOT EASY TO GET RID OF.

Swajan: Mota, I feel that my present life style is the correct way. Sometimes I understand and feel afterwards that there is cheating involved in my life.

Pujya Shree Mota: Hypocrisy plays a major role in the lives of everybody that includes me and you. It can masquerade in variety of ways that cannot be imagined. It can change falsehood into truth. Such are its ways and tricks. There is no way to have frankness, honesty, faithfulness and true enthusiasm in life without first removing the curtain of hypocrisy.

We need to be aware of the ways of hypocrisy.  We try to understand our prakruti, nature, thoughts, vrutties and feelings and yet it is not our original self. By the grace of God we will succeed only if we can keep living awareness of our goal while trying to understand our prakruti and thoughts.

There is a lots of mental anguish and struggle to remove the curtain of hypocrisy. It is not as easy as we imagine and think.

Hypocrisy can still be present in the lives of the ones who have real and intense desire for progress in their lives. It can be present even more in the lives of some.

The power of hypocrisy can be reduced by inspiration for the progress in life and creative effort to achieve it, prayers and asking for help with extreme humility and grace; keeping the bhavna of God in all our efforts, all our daily activities and our emotional being. When there is such living and creative effort and practice, the power of hypocrisy is reduced. Hypocrisy does not get the space for its expression at the stage when there is developing bhavna (heartfelt intention to make such efforts) in our mind and its expression.
