Swami Sivananda's words of wisdom - Essence of Vedanta

One must try to get more insults. Even if people think that he is a good man, he should try to make them feel that he is a rogue and thus get rid of their love for him. The whole world should oppose him. Then only he will prosper. The whole world should desert him and kick him aside. No earthly happiness can bring true realization. All should hate him. Then only his soul will be disciplined. There should be no help from the world of the mortals.

我们必须尝试获取更多的侮辱。即使是所有的人都认为他是一个好人，然而，他应该尽量让他们觉得他是一个流氓。那么，就可以摆脱他们，把他们对他的爱赶走。全世界的人都应该反对他。只有那样，他才会持续蓬勃发展。全世界的人都应该抛弃他，并把他踢到一旁。人世间任何的快乐并不可以带来真正的醒悟。所有的人应该讨厌他。只有那样，他的意识将会受到严肃的训练。他不应该从人世间得到任何的帮助。
