52. Concomitant

Madal:

Chinmoy, I want to be admired by all, especially by my friends. Is it possible for me to be admired by all without any concomitant responsibility to them?

Chinmoy:

Yes, Madal, it is possible. But if you do not shoulder the accompanying responsibility, which is your devoted concern for others, then your joy can never be complete and perfect.
