67. Derision

Madal:

Chinmoy, very often humanity on the whole greets the spiritual masters with derision. Why?

Chinmoy:

O, Madal, I think humanity greets only the self-styled and unrealised spiritual masters with laughter and mockery and not the genuine spiritual masters. Again I must say that at times even the good and true spiritual masters are greeted with foul mockery and laughter. In such cases, I must say that humanity is not ready to accept their divine light. I feel extremely sorry both for the unaspiring humanity and for the self-giving spiritual masters.
