HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY BUT ADVERTISING ALSO HELPS

The statement support the maxim, but at the same time deals with the importance of advertising one’s honesty to conceive others. Advertisement has grown to be an important means in the present century to attract people towards certain thinking. If you are good at honesty.
Honesty is a virtue in itself, which as a matter of fact, needs no advertisement. The fragrance of honesty spreads all around gradually. Honesty travels at the speed of light and brings people under its umbrella though in a limited number. Man who is the practitioner of honesty establishes his credentials gradually. He does not need the crutch of publicity. Sufis who live for the pleasure of Allah, do not need any publicity. They preach truth, honesty at their level without caring for any kind of publicity. Virtue rewards them adequately as they draw on believers who benefit from the practice and teachings of Sufis become their roving ambassadors of goodwill. They carry the message of Sufis to their acquaintances, whom they bear upon the need of coming under the spiritual influence of Sufis for spiritual sustenance. Sufis credentials of honesty once established, go a long way in spreading their fame all around. It must be admitted that followers coin some fantastic stories about their spiritual guides. The idea is to convince others of guides spiritual powers. That normally happens in our own society. It is generally believed that the spiritual powers. That normally happens in our own society. It is generally believed that the spiritual sects, in most of the cases, tend to be converted to mundane seats, leading to the exploitation of the gullible. Pirs/spiritual guides dole out spiritualism to the people who come to them for the rejuvenation of their tormented souls. Some sufis indeed are above the worldly greed, and are capable of offering guidance to their followers. Their number is comparatively small. Most of the Pirs associated with ‘guddies’ take part in politics and play the sordid game to swell their political interests. They practise honesty for the sake of honesty. They are above advertisement or publicity. Strength of character born out of convictions is their forte. Half-baked honest people feel the need for publicity. The modern age is an age of advertisement. Big firms apportion a large amount of their budget to advertisement. The hoarding fixed at different places in big cities/towns invite the attention of people to the products of the firms. The hoardings make the people believe in the superiority of the advertised products. In a way it is a propaganda in favour of the ‘honesty’ of firm’s products. So people practising honesty overtly or covertly, feels the need for advertising their virtues. But honesty should be above publicity/advertisement.
