If someone is an honest person, and has no other bad habits, but if someone else is addicted to smoking or is a convener, and this honest person is there, they won't smoke in front of him. Why? Even though he has no authority, nothing, still. Still, why do they do that? Eh? Because of truthfulness. Eh? Because there is truthfulness. There is so much power in it.

Secondly, during the British rule, they used to appoint governors here in India. The British power was very vast. They ruled over the entire earth. These were considered their colonies. This India was considered a colony. So, in those colonies, they used to appoint a governor each. What were those governors like? Just like we have the IAS degree here, they had another degree there. If one had that degree, even if ten such IAS officers gathered, like Morarji Desai and H. M. Patel, they were all trained there. So, after gathering those with such degrees and sending them to this colony, Churchill would ask them all. Who among you are going to India? So, those who were 20-25 years old, or some 30 years old, who had freshly passed. They would all say, raising their hands, "Brother, we are going." So, he would hold a separate meeting for them. Holding a separate meeting, he would give them a recommendation, "I have one recommendation for all of you." You must never talk face-to-face with Gandhiji and Vallabhbhai Patel. If you want to talk, do it through letters and messages. Face-to-face... So they would ask, "Why?" Why so? Since they had all become IAS officers, they would have that pride, "We became IAS at this age, so what can happen to us?" So he would say, "No, what I am saying is correct, you must not talk face-to-face with them." And if you spend half an hour face-to-face with them, even if they put a blank paper in front of you, you will sign it and come back. You will sign it and come back. What was that resonance of?

Tap to open in glossary → Such is the resonance of His truth. It is the resonance of benevolence. It is the resonance of His saintliness. That there is no other like Him. No matter how powerful others are, they feel reduced to dust, so they have to maintain that. For us, if someone is good, we consider him our own. We say so. But His rule prevails in this world. That is why it is written, "Out of fear of Me, the wind blows..." God has wondrous power. Even if He doesn't say anything, the other person gets confused. He doesn't say anything, doesn't even look at him. Because He doesn't look, the other person gets even more confused. He doesn't need to do anything. God possesses such power that is beyond intellect and imagination. If this is believed and with honesty, then God's commands will not be transgressed.

Shree Krishna conveyed the message of love and humanity to the world. Also, He recited the epic poem, the Bhagvad Geetã, to Arjun in which He stated: ‘Whenever dharma declines and adharma increases, I shall incarnate myself as a human to save the holy, to destroy the sin of the sinner, and to establish dharma. I come into being from yug to yug’. 2) In the Vachanãmrut, Shreeji Mahãrãj also uses the name “Shree Krishna” to describe Bhagvãn Purushottam Nãrãyan.

Still, everyone trembled before Maharaj. That truthfulness of personality, height of personality, because of that, everyone else was afraid. Gandhiji was committed to non-violence, and because of him, the entire so-called Great Britain... where the sun never set. Their rule extended over the whole world. Now, those people were afraid of Gandhiji. Why were they afraid? A person needs some honesty. And if one maintains honesty, and does not practice hypocrisy, then people will fear him. People fear such a person. Why are we not afraid of sadhus? Why are we not afraid? They also understand that "these are just like us." These are just like us.

Why wouldn't they? Why wouldn't they show ego? Even the great ones were afraid. They would say everything behind his back, but no one dared to say it to his face.

He made 560 princely states bite the dust, they all came running and said, "Take it, take it, take it," if he did all that, there must be something in him, right? And what did he have, what else did he have? So, a person needs truthfulness. And all of that has come from God, so God has heaps of it. Therefore, everyone fears Him. Why do even the powerful fear Him? "Death goes about as the fifth." Death runs away with its tail tucked. Runs, while others walk, this one runs. Runs away. If there is such truthfulness, the strength of life in a person, then people will fear him. That is, false people will fear. True people will rejoice. "By whose curved eyebrow even Time is terrified," then? "Seeing that, the devotees of God rejoice in their minds. Seeing that, the devotees rejoice in their minds." They do not see Time. They enjoy it, "Oh, let us meditate on the eyebrow." His brow... so it is fearful to the false. And is transgressing commands considered wrong or right? So it is fearful to the false.
