“Before asking whether others understand your ideal, ask whether your own conduct makes truthfulness with responsibility easier to recognize.”

Reflection
An editorial paraphrase for reflection on truthfulness with responsibility; it is not presented as a verbatim quotation of Sree Sree Thakur.
This reflection synthesizes a recurring practical theme found in public Satsang and biographical material: truth is not merely blunt speech; it is accurate, constructive and responsible communication. A concrete way to work with it is to before speaking a difficult truth, check the fact, the purpose and the likely effect of your wording.
