WE WRAP OURSELVES IN THESE VEILS

Meher Baba

 
Listen to what I say carefully, the foremost point to remember is that God loves truth and honesty. And if we are to work for God and Baba, we must be honest to God, to Baba, to others and to ourselves. That means, unless we experience what we preach and teach, we are not honest, not only to Sufism, but to life itself. To be an atheist, not to believe in God, to be bad even, is better than to be a hypocrite. So we must work on that basis.

Hypocrisy is the unforgivable sin, even God cannot forgive it. He is willing to, but He can't get through, because we wrap ourselves in these veils of hypocrisy and posing.
