Sincerity or honesty?

From Awakenings: Conversations With the Masters, by Anthony DeMello (#306). Read. Think. Discuss.

"Sincerity is not enough," the Master would frequently say. "What you need is honesty."
"What's the different?" someone asked.
"Honesty is a never-ending openness to the facts," said the Master. "Sincerity is believing one's own propaganda."

Sicerity is the best. Once I learned to fake that, the rest was easy.
