________________ peacefully. People will taunt you, 'so you've become a Shuddhatma, eh?" They will abuse you in many ways because that is their nature. They have not found the path of liberation and they will not let others find one. That is how people are. Ultimately You will have to reason with them or coax them one way or another and tell them, 'I have lost', then they will let you go. These people have not listened to anyone. Therefore, you should realize that they come to you having defeated everyone, so all you have to do is say, 'I lose and you win. I have lost against you. You are the winner.' They will be able to sleep if you tell them this. They will feel triumphant in thinking they defeated Chandulal and they will be content. You are correct by your viewpoint 'We' do not halt 'our' progress. 'We' would make a request one time, then 'we' let go and move on. How long can 'we' sit around? 'We' would explain everything to the other person, but if you keep sticking to your viewpoint, and become obstinate, 'we' will let go. 'We' would recognize that he does not see what 'we' am saying; so how long can 'we' sit there and explain? One should not remain sitting for ever, should he? Should we not just move along? He cannot see beyond his viewpoint. If a person is standing next to a white horse about 300 feet from here, and you ask someone what is that standing over there? He might say, 'It is a cow', does that mean we should hit him? Why would you want to hit him? He is calling the horse a cow, so should we hit him because of that? No! He cannot see at distance, so where is he at fault? At least it is good that he is not calling it a donkey! You will have to accept that. He says what he sees. That is how this world is. Each person says what he sees.
