(Note that I said 'intelligence' and not 'intelligent')
When it comes to hiding a 'secret', one has to first see whether one is planning to hide it externally or internally.
The best way to hide a secret externally is 'silence'. Krishna says in the Gita, 'Of the things kept secret, I'm silence'. What does silence mean? Suppose you are hiding a refugee in your house and his oppressor comes to search your place. There may then arise a conflict between telling the truth and protecting the refugee. The best course of action for you in this situation is to remain silent. By doing so, you are 'not telling lies' and at the same time, you are protecting the one who has taken refuge in you. What you do IF the oppressor asks you is up to you but other things being even, the oppressor will not ask if you are hiding someone.
About hiding an internal secret, like your anxiety over your small cup-size or the large waist length, well...you really cannot hide anything from your Creator. But since it is your Creator who created your cup-size or waist-length, He will not chide you. ;-)
