Truth is never easy and needs a lot of courage. It is sometimes good to to not reveal the truth if it is bringing down a house, that does not mean you say a lie, there are alternatives to deal with. I have believed in the philosophy of truth but there are times when I don't tell my husband certain things and it is best for the family, specially when it comes to my Son and I believe most mothers do that for their Children....hehehe, but again it does not mean I lie, I just don;t tell him.
Loved the way you incorporated the Yoga Sutras, The 8 Limbs, if we understand them well we have understood life. The 5 Yamas are not easy to follow but if followed they can make our life beautiful.
Yoga Chitta Vritti Nirodha; Yoga is the suppression of the modification of the mind.
Thank you for sharing such wonderful wisdom
