You must be frank and as simple as a child. Then only you will get the divine light. You
will grow spiritually. Even if it is a horrible crime, you must admit it before a Guru. Then only
you will get his sympathy and protection. By admitting your faults before others, you remove the
effects of bad actions. It serves as a Prayaschitta or expiatory action.

From "May I answer that" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on Swami Sivananda: on the Website of Divine Life Society, Photographs of Swami Sivananda, German Pages on Swami Sivananda
