Jayapataka Swami: Doesn’t seem like it. But you should try to explain to the person, so that they get the correct understanding. You may not have explained the tattva so clearly so the person misunderstood. So then you should try to dispel the person’s misunderstanding, and in this way the person will be very grateful. So, I went to an office once in the early 1970s. I was in Calcutta preaching life membership. And the person started yelling at me. YOU ARE CHEATERS! I DON’T BELIEVE THIS! and he went on for five minutes blasting me! And then I said no sir you are not right.Here we are distributing prasadam, and I showed the pictures. And then I started patiently explaining to him our activities, and then he was surprised. He said, please forgive me. I was just testing you. How much do you want? Ha! And he became a life member. So we meet such people. But as Lord Caitanya said, we should be humble like a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree, we should offer all respect to others, don’t expect any respect for yourself. So that happens a lot. People they don’t treat you nice. You should treat them nice. You should be humble and tolerant and then you will be surprised what happens!
