Honesty is not Authenticity! Honesty is only one ingredient for authenticity. It is not authenticity by itself. Honesty is only the first step, initial step. Honesty is a socially good quality. Authenticity is a spiritual quality. It is not a socially good quality. Authenticity means – living the spiritual truths authentically. I will give you the difference between honesty and authenticity. For example, If you are angry with somebody, you will express directly to that person, “I am angry with you.” It is honesty. But that is not authenticity. Authenticity means, really two beings understand each other, where even the anger will not happen. See, in a husband lying to his wife, neither there is honesty nor authenticity. Husband telling the truth to his wife that he is a womanizer is honesty, but not authenticity. Husband living just as husband is authenticity. So each person’s role, if he or she is completely living, it is authentic. When he is failing and revealing the failure to the other person it is honesty. Revealing the failure is not living successfully, understand. It is honest, no doubt, but not authentic. Honesty will always be demanding; I am honest, you be honest. Authenticity will be always flowing. I am flowing, I don’t bother about you. Authenticity fills you and others. Honesty burns others and you. Many times honesty is a poor substitute for authenticity and the very idea of honesty is built on your ego. But authenticity is built on the cosmic understanding. Authenticity is, living the truths from yourself. Honesty is, living the versions of the truths given to you by society. What do most of the honest people say? Whatever society taught you as a truth you try to live that. It is just based on the facts and the figures, which is not the truth of the life!
