"It is so easy to be dishonest, particularly as you gain affluence, as you acquire the comforts that so few people in the world have." [1]


"It is dishonest to demand change, to expect change, when you yourself are not willing to change. And to say, “Well, I will change if other people change,” that is dishonest. That is placing the responsibility beyond yourself. That is dishonest." [2]


"When people try to adjust their perception of the world, what happens is they end up becoming very dishonest and denying whole parts of their experience. If you only want to see the good and the happy and the pretty things, well, what happens? You begin to deny the reality of everything else." [3]


"Do not be angry that the world is just full of deception, full of dishonesty because it is a world without Knowledge. People have not found God’s great gift yet, and so they act foolishly, mimicking one another, following whatever their social conditioning tells them they must follow—following their friends, their groups, their leaders, their religions—everything. For without Knowledge, what else could they do but follow everything that is a substitute for Knowledge?" [4]


"Much of what you hear, whether it is agreeable or disagreeable, is inherently dishonest. We do not consider this with any condemnation; we look upon it with compassion. It is expected. In other words, people will lie until they stumble upon some kind of truth or until, by their sheer devotion and desire, they break free of the old patterns they created in the past.This is when the great tree spreads its seeds and something new grows which has its own being in the world. It has new life." [5]


"Forgiveness is not overlooking difficulties you have had with people in the past, for that becomes emotionally and intellectually dishonest. You cannot make something good that was not good without deceiving yourself and becoming dishonest regarding your feelings." [6]
