Transcript
00:00If you go to the Himalayas and if you find some old practitioner of yoga residing anonymously in some God-forsaken cave,
00:08you will not start accusing him of forsaking his social responsibility, would you?
00:13In fact, you would fall at his feet. That's what generally has been happening traditionally.
00:17He has no social identity or obligations and that makes him worthy of respect.
00:22So that is one path and if you take that path, that is very much okay.
00:25But there is another path, the path of Krishna, the path of the teacher
00:28and those who have taken that path have not just been respected, they have been loved.
00:34The ascetic who has given up on the world and is residing peacefully in some cave in the Himalayas
00:40deserves a lot of respect, no doubt.
00:43But the one who comes down from the Himalayas despite knowing very well that the world is just an illusion
00:49is worthy of both respect and love.
00:52That's what a Buddha did. That's what an avatar does.
