How to be sincere? A symptom of a person who is sincere is that he is always trying to follow. That is the characteristic of sincerity. He is always endeavoring because he is sincere. And when we ask how to be sincere, it is something that is based on desire. As we said, desire is the eternal companion of the soul. Either we are desiring Krishna or we are desiring maya. If a person is sincere, then Krishna arranges to give him proper instruction so that he can overcome maya.
