The world is a nest of crows; some caw in praise; some caw in derision. But man should be above the reach of praise and blame. Make light of praise; treat it as something spat out by others. Then only can you be free and enjoy real happiness. And about blame, see how the world has not allowed evenRama,Krishna,Vishnu, Shiva and Baba to escape from the tendency to blame! They talk ill even of the gods, imputing to those perfect beings evil motives and actions. (DhyV, p. 63)
