118 Aptavani-2 no one has the power to say anything. Indeed, if a person were in control, there would be no sinking ships. But in reality, everyone is simply a ‘top’; everyone dances according to their prakruti. Why do ‘we’ say that the control is in ‘other’s’ hands (par-satta)? We are taken where we like to go but also where we do not like to go, by circumstances. Because one ends up going without the desire for it, it is evident that it is all under the control of some other forces (par-satta). ‘Honesty is the best policy’, unfortunately this sentence has become a cliché; it has lost its effectiveness and so ‘we’ are giving you another sentence: ‘Dishonesty is the best foolishness’. People become frustrated and mad trying to live according to the former positive saying. Despite the posted warning signs ‘Beware of Thieves’ on the streets, people get robbed. The warning signs have become ineffective and useless. In the same manner, some businessmen display the sign, ‘Honesty is the best policy’ in their businesses and yet they are not honest, so what is the point? Now we have a need for new scriptures and new sentences. That is why ‘we’ are telling you to post this sentence: ‘Dishonesty is the best foolishness’. * * * * *
