131. Obstreperous

Madal:

Chinmoy, it is said that God is extremely fond of children. To me, all children are but obstreperous, hence I literally hate them. Do you care for children?

Chinmoy:

Madal, I do care for children. I like them, I love them, I adore them. You hate unruly children, and my budding disciples hate their unruly thoughts. So you and my disciples can be in the same boat sailing towards the destination — nowhere.
