అబద్దాలాడటం మరియు భయము - కంచి పరమాచార్య సూక్తి

 

Uttering Lies and Fear

But when you commit a wrong, how to you feel? It irritates your mind like dirt. Then you feel that the dirt should not be seen by others and you want to hide it. When you have committed a wrong, if you pray immediately, that dirt will go away; the prayer itself acting like a soap. But instead of that if it is attempted to hide the wrong then a lie has to uttered. If dirt is not washed but allowed to remain, it will cause a skin disease. In the same manner, if wrong is covered up by a lie, it becomes a disease. The most fearful disease that spoils the mind is telling lies.
