79. Falsehood, fraud.🔗

• Whom to deceive and how?
• How to act and make a person believe us and cleverly achieve our end alone.
• After achieving our end in such a manner, how to ignore the suffering the other person is going to undergo.

It is only the mental quality of 'Falsehood, fraud', which gives the answer for these three questions.

• As long as falsehood resides in the heart, there will be no peace either in the home or in the heart. It is impossible too.
• The art of weeding out falsehood from the mind is a delicate one. Examine your mind; whatever is there will come to light.

Next day there was going to be a war between the two countries. The king and his minister were talking about getting help from the neighboring country's king.

The king asked, 'What bribe can we give to the neighboring king so that he will do what all we say?'

The minister replied, 'Oh king! Even by mistake, don't do that. The neighboring king is a disciplinarian and is a very straight forward person. If we bribe him, he would become our enemy.'

After a week, when they were celebrating their war victory in the palace, the minister, who was in a drunken condition, asked the king, 'Oh king! What magic did you weave to make friends with the neighboring king?'

'I sent some bribe through our own spy agent and asked him to tell our neighboring king that he had come with a bribe from our enemy king. So he was angry with our enemy king and became our friend', said the drunken king, winking at the minister. The neighboring friendly king, who was also there, heard this to his horror.

Then what! Within a week, the entire condition rapidly changed topsy-turvy.

• To those who got deceived…..That is a lesson. They will mature.
• To those who deceive…There is a deadly cobra with its hood Danger!

The mind that is full of falsehood will be teased and tortured at least twice as bad as it harms others. It is bound to suffer.

Do not bypass this article saying this is not for me, thinking that the qualities of falsehood and fraud are only those which are planned, executed and practiced only by some psycho type of persons.

Before entering into the article...

Bring to your mental screen the facial expressions that we use and change to achieve our needs through others. In the same manner, bring to your mental screen the facial expressions that persons well known to you show towards you in order to achieve what they want through you. That will be a guide for you to find out your own facial expressions.

Continue reading. You can understand – falsehood and fraud.

When you show love and affection to others, you forget yourself as well as your pride and ego. Mind becomes calm. Hence body becomes healthier.

When a person involves himself in falsehood and fraud, he acts with the only aim of achieving what he wants to achieve. Even though he may talk very affectionately, showing it through his body, voice and words, or talk in praise of other persons, or give enormous respect for that person these are of no use in his personal life.

Perhaps, in the outer world, that person may be able to achieve certain things. Even that is possible only if he acts (deceives) properly.

While their bodies would be acting as a good and nice person, in reality, by mind, they will be fraudulent and wicked persons.

Only if fraud is learnt as an art, they can achieve what they want to by making others do what they want to. This is the peak of harm.

A case in conformity with this article:

This was an unusual incident.

'At this place, at this time, this person, with this weapon, with this hand, I murdered.' - The police department staff handed over to the court the murderer who surrendered to the police, saying, 'Having done the murder, this murderer will gladly accept any punishment given by the government.'

Court hall...Hearing time...

The Judge asked the murderer 'Is it true that you murdered Roximan?'

The murderer said, 'Have you not read my statement...? Okay…. I admit again that I only murdered Roximan. Roxi is my friend. I told him that I would kill him at 7 in the morning next day. Foolish Roxi did not believe it. He thought I was only playing as usual. Poor fellow! Even though Roxi did not believe it, the next day at 7 in the morning I murdered Roxi'

As he calmly completed his words, the judge got upset a little. He had not come across a criminal like him so far in his life.

How is it possible for a person who has committed a crime to speak with such clarity and without any struggle?

The judge felt a hunch. On seeing the laughter of the criminal, the judge thought that there should be some back ground behind his action. But he looks innocent. Thinking in this manner, the judge asked, 'Why did you do the murder?'

The man answered, 'You may not believe. There is no specific or particular reason for it.'

'If there is no reason, then why did you commit the murder?' the judge asked.

The man continued, 'He has been doing anti-social activities. There is no evidence to prove it. If he is left alone, at a later stage, he may even destroy the town itself. I thought over it. I decided to murder him. That day at 7 in the morning, I went to his house to murder my friend Roxi. He welcomed me saying, 'Oh! Come in, come...' and he showed his gun saying, 'See my new gun that I bought.'

I took the gun. Roxi said laughingly, 'You said you will kill me at 7 in the morning today.' Before he could shut up his laughing mouth, I pulled the trigger. 'Toop...toop...toop.' Three bullets entered his mouth and went through the back of his head.

Roxi collapsed. As I finished my job, I straightaway went to the police station. There is no specific reason for me to kill him. Even now he is my friend only.

I am all right. These policemen are confusing themselves whether I am a mentally deranged person. Poor people. Whatever judgment you have thought over, please pronounce it quickly.'

The judge thought that from what he says he appears to be a good man. Such good people should be helped.

He said, 'There is no prior enmity as reason for murder. Moreover, you are the first accused to give the statement without any sort of nervousness. Because it is a planned murder, though you should be given capital punishment, I cannot pass the judgment for hanging you.'

The man said, 'Whatever you decree that is all right for me, because that will be the wages for my work. That is all.'

The judge declared, 'I give you the minimum punishment of rigorous imprisonment for ten years.'

The man said, 'I wish to celebrate this punishment. So I have one small request.'

'What?' asked the judge.

'The murder was done by my hand only. So give the punishment of rigorous imprisonment for 10 years to my hand.'

'How is it that the hand alone will undergo the punishment of imprisonment?' the judge asked

'That is my problem. Why do you worry about it?' he replied.

The judge pronounced, 'I pronounce... ten years rigorous imprisonment for his hand that murdered.'

The murder removed the most modern artificial electronic hand, which was almost looked like a real one and said, 'The 10 year rigorous imprisonment is only for this.' So saying he got down from the witness stand and started walking off.

The judge reconciled himself realized instantly that this man is like a cancerous wound and has planned and started to deceive and spoil society, by learning falsehood and fraud as an art by itself.

The judge said, 'Oh fool! Don't be hasty. My judgment is not yet over. It is true that the punishment of 10 years rigorous imprisonment is for the hand that committed the murder. But it is for the psychological i.e. mind-oriented hand. I did not say it is for the physical hand which is part of the body. Now, I say it is for the psychological hand.'

The public applauded it so much that the whole court building vibrated with the applause. The real motivation for murder was investigated and found later on and he was awarded capital punishment.

This example is peak of falsehood. Because the judge acted wisely, the punishment was awarded.

In practical day-to-day life when every one uses falsehood and fraud to a small and limited extent, nobody receives any punishment.

Do you know at all that the one who is affected by the drama of falsehood and fraud is you only?

If the mind breaks into two and acts it is called mental disturbance. If it becomes serious and prolonged it becomes a mental disease.

When falsehood is in action, mind divides itself and acts.

All of the body movements are controlled by the mind. If a person acts like a good man, to achieve his own particular objective, a part of his mind must and should work as a good man only.

To put falsehood into proper action, (i.e. to act like a good person), one must act right from the depths of the mind. Only then it will be possible to act properly. The other part of the mind which is responsible for this acting should necessarily be active and in action be a bad person.

What will happen, if, at the same time, the mind acts in a divided fashion, half as a good man and the other half as a bad man? As long as there is sufficient and good amount of energy that remains in the body, one may live a life with falsehood. The divided and broken mind will not be visible outside. It will not take Viswaroopa, i.e. it won't reveal its true gigantic personality.

As the age increases, as the energy decreases, the split will become deeper and deeper. The mind will be ruined. The body and mind will lose control.

The mind and body of a person who deceives will be ruined in huge measure day by day.

The sins that you accumulate in the form of fraud and falsehood in the present will affect the peace of your future.

Even if falsehood and fraud is present in you in very small measure, it is not at all needed. Throw it away once and for all.

If you retain it, sins only will remain.

Change as an innocent child, devoid of any falsehood.

Mind will become crystal clear. Body will become healthy.

A meaningful incident.

Kuljith was a miser. A man from the town came to him and asked for his donkey as a loan. As Kuljith was telling him, 'Excuse me, I have already loaned the donkey to some one else', his donkey brayed.

That man said, 'But I hear the braying sound of the donkey!'

Kuljith asked, 'Tell me now itself, whom are you going to believe? Donkey! Or Me!'

• You may escape by a fraudulent talk. But you will get caught by your own mind and feelings.
