In those days, India was under the British rule. One, a boy told Mohan. Do you know why the British are so strong? And why they can rule over us? No, I don't know. It is because they eat meat. If we become meat eaters like them, we'll be able to drive them out. Really? Is it so? Yes, you try eating then you will know the truth. I can't let my family know this. So he tried eating meat outside. He did not disclose the secret to anybody. Yet. He was averse of telling a lie and deceiving the parents. I can't hide and deceive my parents. I'm not going to touch meat again in my life. So finally, he decided not to touch meat again move and was taken to smoking also, for this he had to steal money and to incur debt. When the debt increased. He stole a piece of gold from one of the gold bracelets that his brother wore, and paid off the debt. By doing this, I could clear up my debts. But soon after his heart was filled with remorse. He Resolved never to steal again. I am not able to sleep peacefully. My mind is tensed for the crime I had committed. Let me resolve by telling the facts to my father. He wrote down a confession of his crime on a piece of paper and put it in the hands of his father who was then sick. The father read the letter and without uttering a word, tore up the people with a deep sigh. More than was deeply grieved. tears rolled down his cheeks. He saw the power of truth from that day, telling the truth became a passion with him.
