After Self realisation, once one finds that he is not this body, but actually a soul (Atma), which is a part of universal soul (Paramatma), honesty comes naturally to his thinking due to following reasons -
- As the focus shifts from Body to the Soul, his priority for acquiring more and amenities for this body reduces. The EGO of a person, which is mainly related to personality of the person, also reduces as he learns that this body and the personality is only temporary.
- At soul level, one finds that other’s are also soul and thus the difference between self and other diminishes. This phenomenon is also called the feeling of oneness or integrated existence. So the person naturally starts thinking in terms of GAIN for ALL, which is fully in line with our definition of HONESTY.
- Once a person’s focus of existence shifts to soul, he starts getting insulated from the pains and pleasures of this body and mind. He starts seeing these as something happening to his body and not to him. He becomes observer now and thus is separate from the pains and pleasure feelings happening in the mind. He is always in touch with a neutral state(as a soul), which gives him tremendous peace and bliss all the time. Since he starts getting this higher internal happiness, there is no need to do dishonest acts in worldly life to get lower level of happiness.
