181. Turgid
Madal:Chinmoy, in this incarnation I wish to be a poet. In my next incarnation I would like to be a lecturer and use turgid words in order to draw appreciation and admiration from the audience.
Chinmoy:
Madal, first of all don't be so concerned about your next incarnation. I don't even think of tomorrow — tomorrow can and will take care of itself. O great future lecturer, your big and bombastic words will not draw any appreciation and admiration from your audience. Your audience will embrace you with roaring laughter and a snoring concert.
