"Condemn your sinful karmas in the presence of the Guru Maharaj with a noble heart. Reveal your sinful Karmas and the Guru Maharaj will suggest a remedy (an atonement). Remember even a sinner can become a Parameshwar.
Till now, you have been showing off your noble actions and concealing your sinful actions. But the right way is, to reveal your sinful karmas and to conceal your noble actions."
If you reveal your sins, you will find someone who can guide you to get rid of them. In consequence, you will discard your sins and take the path of spirituality.
If you conceal your sins, they will destroy your soul. If you want to conceal anything conceal your noble actions.
When a mother suckles her child at her breast, she covers the child with the fringe of her sari. Why? She does so to prevent the possibility of an evil eye being cast upon the child. She does so out of her desire for the welfare of the child.
In the same manner, conceal your Punyas so that the evil effect of karmas may not fall upon them. A noble action is like suckling a child. It takes care of the sou! and gives it food. If the effect of evil karmas falls upon your punyas, again the sway of Aham (Ego) begins.
The Naham (Selfless) state is essential for spiritual development. In the absence of that quality, the thirst of the soul cannot ba quenched.
