Passage 27

In English

In Western countries, the spiritual background and ideas of this country are being looked down upon because of such actions. In fact, individuals who have some symptoms of spirituality in them, by going to Western countries and spending all their time collecting money, are bringing down the name and reputation of this great spiritual country. Truly, if people do want to promote and propagate spiritual ideas, there is ample scope and plenty of room in this country. Without cleaning up this country, which is one’s home, if one wants to promote spirituality abroad, it is utter foolishness and nothing but deceiving the world. If any citizen of this country wants to promote spirituality, they must first recognise the amount of dirt accumulated in their own home, clean up the dirt in their own country and then think of going to another country to clean up the dirt. Many people wearing an ochre robe today are making a journey to Western countries merely to collect dollars. To give an , they want dollars. To give a lecture, they want dollars. To give advice, they want dollars. Or to give a , they collect dollars. Who are these people? They are not preachers but big beggars!
