On one occasion, Shrimadji went for a stroll after dinner towards the bandstand in the churchgate area in mumbai.
Sheth Tribhuvandas Bhanji was with Him, keeping Him company.
The two went along talking on religious matters when Tribhuvandasbhai asked, 'What should be the true nature of honesty which a jain ought to practice?'
In reply, Shrimadji pointed to the tall rampart of the building of the Mumbai High Court and said, 'The degree of honesty practiced by one who is a jain should in no way be less than the honesty practiced by the judge sitting inside the building of the High Court you see over there.
It means, the honesty of a jain should be so wide that no one should harbour any doubts about it.
Not merely this; the honesty of a jain should be so universally acknowledged that even if someone were to say he was dishonest, no one should ever believe it...'
