“Absolute honesty is essential in one's search for God (Truth).”
Meher Baba (1894–1969) Indian mystic
7 Absolute Honesty, p. 8.
The Everything and the Nothing (1963)
Context: Absolute honesty is essential in one's search for God (Truth). The subtleties of the Path are finer than a hair. The least hypocrisy becomes a wave that washes one off the Path.
It is your false self that keeps you away from your true Self by every trick it knows. In the guise of honesty this self even deceives itself. For instance your self claims, I love Baba. The fact is, if you really loved Baba you would not be your false self making the self-asserting statement!

“Breathe "God," in any tongue — it means the same;
LOVE ABSOLUTE”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850–1919) American author and poet
Knowledge
Poetry quotes, New Thought Pastels (1913)
Context: Breathe "God," in any tongue — it means the same;
LOVE ABSOLUTE: Think, feel, absorb the thought;
Shut out all else; until a subtle flame
(A spark from God's creative centre caught)
Shall permeate your being, and shall glow,
Increasing in its splendour, till, YOU KNOW.
