Course II - Teaching 8: “What People Will Think”

A spiritual can do or try anything to harmonize worldly life and spiritual life, but is ever unable to flee from gossip and censure.
How cannot a lamp be seen on the mount summit? How can a spiritual man hide himself when he follows his path? He is over and above a lot of men, and he who is object of many glances, must stand flattering and censure. Also, as every being has his particular trend, even among his spiritual companions sometimes he finds involuntary, quite tormenting enemies. According to an old saying, “The good make suffer the good”.
For a noble and sensitive soul, it is always a hard trial to be impeded and misunderstood. Chosen souls are not overwhelmed by sorrow and toil, but by incomprehension of men.
Who is the man recognized in his time? Mankind extols great and good men when they died, and tortures them when they are alive.
The Sacrifice that entails to overcome even the incomprehension of spiritual companions, and to know that the noblest and most righteous deeds are sometimes unfairly appreciated, is a type of construction that lays the foundation of the spiritual triumph.
