1. "In the spirit of each man lives the principle of good, which can saturate the whole being if these energies of Light are consciously invoked. …In its seed each spirit knows the truth manifested by quiet currents; hence, this immersing directs the spirit to right thinking. …The world of the spirit needs to be understood. Thus, everyone can evoke a most subtle current from the depths of the heart." [Fiery World III, 129]
2. "The truth is not known by calculations, only the language of the heart knows where the great Truth lives, which, no matter what, leads humanity to ascent." [Legends by Nicholas Roerich]
3. "The reasoning mind must not be allowed into the domain where the heart should reign. The reasoning mind can always validate self-interest, but the heart will recognize untruth." [Supermundane, 719]
4. "Truthfulness along with devotion are the foundations of spirituality. And who will we try to mislead?! For the All–seeing Eye, we are an open book... – so we will only fool ourselves? But who wants to be decorated with such a clown attribute? Therefore, we will show recognition in everything and will not humiliate ourselves with even the slightest shade of inaccuracy in the transmission of facts." [Letters of Helena Roerich in 9 Volumes - 2. 077]
5. "Incalculable are the human diseases of the spirit which infect the planet. One of the greatest ulcers is untruthfulness. When the World is crumbling away soap bubbles are no shield. When it is necessary to act in defense of such great affirmations as the Banner of the Lords, then it is inadmissible to resemble warriors carrying paper shields. ...Indeed, faint-heartedness and selfhood are the brothers of distortion." [Fiery World III, 285]
6. "Only the smallest part of humanity struggles against the lie. Some fight against it for moral reasons, whereas others already understand the cosmic harm of the lie. Indeed, since thoughts and words live in space and emit vibrations over immeasurable distances, how many dark and false inventions appear and poison the planet! …"“Greet those strong ones who fight against the lie."" [Supermundane, 942]
7. "Self–deception is a very sad phenomenon. It leads to self-delusion and plunges a person into a world of ghosts." [Facets of Agni Yoga 1966, 757]
