Our actions must match our words. Mere speaking about the infinitude of the Self without the realisation of a corresponding sense of equality and an abiding sense of humility or empathy with all is a sure sign of insincerity of statement made and even an unconscious hoodwinking of oneself and others. One's spirituality will show up in one's behaviour, one's attitude to others, one's fellow-feeling and gracefulness of social interaction, for spirituality lends one supreme peace and joy and an abiding sense of goodwill towards all. One has been blessed with the vision of the Self knows all of phenomena to be the dream of the Divine and knows oneself to be a myth conjured by the mythical mind engaged in magical self-creation. One does not in that sense see God or see the Atman but the universe drops off like an insubstantial entity that had no existence ever but had forever subsisted in unreal space-time and what subsistence is that whose backdrop itself is imaginary in an 'imagined mind'? Whose imagination is it then? Such a question may not be asked for it leads to an infinite series of back-links without beginning save in primeval ignorance, also sourced beyond beginning. But the moot question still remains. Are we to quote high texts of the scriptures at the drop of a hat and then ill-treat our brethren, nay our very Self manifest in so many psycho-physical selves, speaking from the standpoint of apparent relativity? Will monasticism from the pulpit mean high-sounding presentation of pristine principles of philosophy or will it translate to divinity in demeanour as well, sweetness of sympathy and an ardent aspiration to extinguishing the hell-fire of ignorance in the human heart? And will pretence in perfection supplant genuine spirituality with royal patronage of the hour pulling in its might to maximise electoral gains? How long will this masquerading as modern mahatmas persist and how long will the multitude keep getting fooled into believing that whosoever behaves or speaks like this foolish writer, sending high-sounding words into the darkness of the clouds or of space above and copiously quoting mantras galore from the scriptures, is a real mahatma when the famous ones have failed to live up to the appellations afforded them by effusive poets in their inadvertent moments of self-delusion? Let us for once be sincere and 'lend our ears' to the peerless Paramahamsa who had expressly forbidden us from being hypocrites, as we all are in a fair or in a foul measure, and had exhorted us to practise abnegation of self instead of unrealised lecturing to gullible audience who are likely to be swayed by such verbal effusions for the hour only to cast it away all in the irretrievable waste-bin of oblivion. Only when we sincerely follow Ramakrishna's golden principle of maintenance of parity between thought and speech will we progress as a people, else, we shall perish as a nation of hypocrites
