You admit you did it and deal with it immediately. Trying to cover up a mistake is the worst thing you can do. Procrastination only increases the problem. No holy being will deny his mistakes or try and hide them.
Erroneous View #28: Acknowledging that one may intentionally deny what one has said or done. A holy one will definitely not deny what he in fact said or did. Anyone who does not carry out what he said he will carry out or who denies what he in fact did is not a holy one. He is not a qualified master. You follow this erroneous view whether you yourself have it and act upon it or whether you approve of others having it and acting upon it.
Erroneous View #34: Acknowledging that one may make mistakes without immediately correcting oneself. When those with this view discover they have made a mistake, they do not correct it right away. They do so after a while, maybe after half an hour or maybe after ten minutes. All such behavior is not good. Mistakes should be corrected immediately. Correcting mistakes right away is following the right view.
