Do I Dare Say, Hypocrisy?

[Dimmesdale]

Amazing Grace. How sweet the sound. That saved a wretch like me.

For I once, was lost. But now, am found. I once was blind, and now I see.

Who should dare to call himself a hypocrite, when doing so simply casts oneself into the Deep? It is better to be a hypocrite than remain lost in your own selfish musings. You are a hypocrite? Do you have anything to do about that, rather than whine, complain? There is nothing you can do in your case. Good. Then that means, you aren't that bad or irksome. If no active harm is done, why bother blaming yourself? Be Yourself! Do not lose yourself. Be all the goodness that you are, even with the faults you have! Be more than a hypocrite. Know that activity can never cease by inactivity....

Every endeavor is covered by some sort of fault, just as fire is covered by smoke. Therefore one should not give up the work which is born of his nature, O son of Kuntī, even if such work is full of fault. - Bg. 18.48
