Q: Guruji, What is right? A truth that brings tears or a lie that brings a smile?

+Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: There is a saying: Satyam bruyaat, priyam bruyaat, Na bruyaat satyam apriyam Na priyam cha nanrutam bruyaat ‘Speak the truth, speak pleasantly, do not speak unpleasant truths nor speak pleasant lies.’ This is 'sanatana dharma' . If someone is blind, don’t say “Hey blind fellow come here!” This is not pleasant, though it may be the truth. Don't say unpleasant truths and pleasant lies.
