THEY "BEAT UP" MYSTICS,
DON'T THEY?
Christ was crucified, Mansour (Sufi) was beheaded, St. John of the Cross (Christian mystic ? Spain) was beaten up by his brother monks during meal times and a whole host of mystics were maltreated by the very people they helped and cared for.
In the case of Christ the jealous priests, in the case of Mansour the uncomprehending mullahs, in the case of St. John cussedness on the part of the monks made them violent, aggressive and even murderous.
The mystic is fearless. He will say what he has to say fearlessly. He knows the risk he is running. Yet he will proceed on his chosen path, even willing to sacrifice his life to uphold the moral order, to give direction to life and to guide the sick humanity. But those who are on the borderline of madness beat up the mystics.
Is there a way out of this madness? For one, silence could be a golden mean. And many mystics hold their tongue and go on a lifetime of silence. Second, be ever watchful of those malignant elements in society who are after their blood. Thirdly, they could isolate themselves.
Misunderstanding, misconstruing what is being said, plain ignorance or sheer cussedness on the part of the people endangers the life of the mystics. Despite the fact that the mystics go beyond the ego, and speak in a universal language, the masses accuse them of heresy and do them in.
Evolved Yogis, who tread the path of mysticism, may have a lesson or two for the "emotional" mystics. The Yogi is the very embodiment of circumspection, of perspicacity and caution. He chooses his words carefully, interiorises his spiritual practice, and keeps clear of the mad elements in society.
