Till today we have been reading that a person should not keep any deceit inside himself. But a person should not be so straightforward that he allows others to dominate him. At least he should have so much cleverness that he can understand the cleverness of others. Even if you don’t do good to others, at least don’t let bad things happen to you.

There was a very big businessman in a state. In which countries and regions did his business exist? After a few years, suddenly his business was in danger. The reason for this was his nature. He was a very straightforward man. That’s why everyone used to make a fool of him. His close friends and friends were jealous of him seeing his flourishing business. All together implicated him in the conspiracy. And by giving new business ideas, ruined his business. Earlier he could not understand his friends and family. But now he could clearly understand who is who. He was very sad to see the misdeeds of all of them. He was betrayed by the very people whom he considered his own the most. There was a lot of guilt in his mind. He became very irritable about all these things. There was an atmosphere of quarrel all the time in his house too. Because he had a lot of debt on his head. And he was not in a position to pay. One day he thought about all these things that why not end his life. Thinking of this, he left the house in the dark night. While going on the way, he saw an ashram. Where there was a lot of peace. He made him enter the ashram. So saw a saint sitting surrounded by many people. Everyone is asking him the reason for his own problem. Seeing this, a ray of hope awakened in the man’s heart as well. He asked a man sitting there that this Mahatma is a true man? Then that man told that his charchas are up to the country and abroad. This saint is so knowledgeable that he knows people’s mind without speaking. Even if someone is lying, they catch him. After listening to that man, the merchant got curious that he should also ask him something. That’s why he went and sat at the back of the crowd. People were answering their questions in turn. Finally, when everyone left, it was the merchant’s turn. Then the saint asked the merchant, tell me child, what have you come to ask. The merchant told all the incidents that happened with him to the saint. After listening to the merchant, the saint said, Son, you are very innocent, but a man should not be so innocent that he does not think of his own interest.

The saint felt pity on the merchant. He said that today I will tell you all the secrets by which you can identify people. And I will also tell you how to spot a lie. But whatever secret I tell you, don’t use it for the evil of others. The saint said to the businessman, if a friend of yours talks too much about trusting you, do not trust him. Because only liars need to be clarified.

If you know someone who is a complete liar, never believe his words. Because the person who lies to everyone can also lie to you. A person who makes promises on every matter and takes oaths is always a liar. The person who used to behave badly with you and suddenly his behavior changes, then understand that it is a trick. The person who only talks sweetly in front of you and backbites you, then that person is absolutely deceitful. The person who always tries to attract everyone’s attention to himself, keeps on crying about his problems all the time. Gets ready to do anything to make you agree. A liar always thinks of getting himself praised. A liar and a cunning person will try to enter inside your mind and will try to know all your secrets. So that when the time comes, he can take advantage of it.

The businessman had understood the words of the saint. In the end, he said that happiness and sorrow keep coming in life, they should be faced wisely. God never forgives those who think of ending life by being afraid of small things. We will have to take births to repay the debt of our accumulated karma. That too with more problems. Then why not settle all our accounts in this life itself.
