% Austerity %

 

Truthfulness is an austerity for the tongue. The beginning of truthfulness is being truthful to Krishna’s instructions. The extension of truthfulness is that we practice truthfulness in following the vows to the spiritual master and Krishna. The further extension of truthfulness is to be truthful in our dealing with each other, at least in dealing with the Vaisnavas.
