Authenticity According to the Elegance of the Sphere and the Dignity of the Post :
With a mental point of view this also should be assumed to be an evil effect of this money-oriented age that today's man is getting more and more deceitful and hypocritic. If one desires to be reliable in life but on many occasions the circumstances do not allow him to be reliable. The present arrangement of the State or Society has also encouraged to a great extent this hypocritic attitude. The whole social atmosphere has taken such a form that one exposes what he is not. Such a pretender continues to achieve successess one after other secures highest honour and post in the Government and society. On the contrary, one who desires to conduct alike internally and externally, has to meet obstacles at every step. Leave aside his upgradation, it becomes difficult for him to pull on even a simple life. This is the evil effect of the anomalies of the individual and society.
It is the predicament that people even scenting one's hypocrisy continue to offer him honour because he is continuing to be successful. The direct psychological effect on the minds of the people is to adopt fraud and hypocrisy. The position of the higher has commenced to pervade all round in such a way that it is difficult to witness reliabitity even with much efforts. Deceit, chicanery, guile and hypocrisy have become the aphorisms (pass-words) of today's practicality. Take a simple example about this. A certain person asked for a loan of ten rupees currency note from a gentleman. The said note lies in his pocket but due to the non-credit of the debtor he (creditor) does not wish to lend. In that case he ought to have made him conscious
