T hose who have one thing in their heart, and something else in their mouth, are judged to be false


quote 7019  |   The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
ANG 488 SGGSJi 

Waheguru: the True Lord is all knowing. So if one is thinking one thing but saying another that person is considered to be false. Believe in the Guru’s teachings and let your behaviours / speech / actions reflect this. If one practices one thing and preaches another than he is considered a hypocrite and will not be accepted in Waheguru’s house
