Recently I had watched a video in which a recent monk from Vrindavan, who appears to have some spiritual awakening. He preaches the traditional ascetic ideals, denies creation as illusion and a bondage, and speaks of liberation in some heaven beyond as the only solution etc. But in recent videos he was seen to be moving in a lavish Land Rover with his disciples. He even takes allopathic treatment regarding his kidney problem. But I can not say anything about it in my surroundings as people around me may get offended. But honestly I think this is a hypocrisy. Am I right about it?🎭👥😏

Seeing all this a thought flashed through my head that, these people say world is an illusion, they consider stone,gold and soil as equal, they have shunned the world of Maya yet are using all the facilities created by the Maya.

I have also found it a hypocrisy. In fact if you really believe that the world is Maya then there is nothing to preach anything to anyone. The One was, is and will always be there. If there no ultimate reality of individual soul, then whom does one speak to, awaken, and who gets free from the illusory bondage? Most paradoxically to preach inaction by going around the world! But then people hardly think. They prefer believing and hence each one is best left to their beliefs.

The best way is to completely ignore him, and if you cannot do so then remain inwardly totally indifferent to him. The best response to people who are hypercritical is complete indifference. The more you try to explain, the more they justify. The more you concede, the more they increase the criticism. But indifference completely flattens them…

What does the chant “OM SHANTI” truly signify—is peace merely the repetition of a sacred word, or a state to be deeply imbibed within the heart? We often define peace simply as the absence of external conflict, agitation, or turbulence, but this surface calmness is only temporary and amounts to nothing more than restraining turbulent emotions. What, then, constitutes real, unshakable inner peace, and how can one truly attain and sustain it? 🕉️🕊️

Peace is not an absence of disturbance. Even inertia is free from disturbance. Peace is something positive and powerful, a fundamental foundational status of the Divine, seemingly equal and non-reactive like Shiva bearing and upholding the dance of Kali upon his chest or the ocean holding its tremendous energy by its own power of self-limitation. maryada. It is a state of concentrated ingatheredness like the mountains or a vast Silence …
