Those who are free from problems, adversities and oppositions, always getting publicly acclaimed in life are akin to a bed of roses, have not entered the spiritual path to God.
Only one who gets burnt in the fire of hardships is transmuted into spiritual gold and is worthy of adorning God as an ornament. It is illusion which always attempts to tempt man's mind away from God.
Pain and pleasure, power and glory, positions and prestige are all but traps thrown before us by illusion. One who is determined to reach God will abide by the rule of honesty. No doubt, some temporary annoyances are bound to surface.
But one's right conduct will make illusion get frustrated and leave.It is but natural to encounter public criticism and humiliation while preaching and practicing the right conduct. Yet our efforts will be crowned with success if we seek Baba's help.
The world has mistreated several great souls as fools. The ecstatic delight the saints experience in the presence of God is not understood by common people because of ignorance. God-realized souls would dedicate their lives for the uplift of the world.
The humiliations one face on the path of Dharma are, in fact, the blessings and steps arranged by Baba to reach Him.
