Truthfulness
Truthfulness may be described as utterance Wholly devoid of ill.
Even a lie is truthful If it does unsullied good.
Lie not against your conscience Lest it burn you.
Not false to one's own conscience one will reign In all the world's consciousness.
Truthfulness in thought and word Outweighs penance and charity.
Nothing can equal truthfulness In getting fame and other virtues.
To be unfailingly true Is to be unfailing in other virtues.
Water ensures external purity And truthfulness shows the internal.
All lights are not lights: to the wise The only light is truth.
In all the gospels we have read we have found Nothing held higher than truthfulness.
