When we commit ourselves to following the deeper Truth of the spiritual way we must give up any attachment to appearances. We may appear inconsistent, even foolish at times even while we are growing stronger inside. This is different from someone who is committed to a polished façade while the inside is crumbling.

There is no service that does not pass through the shadows of defeat and resistance. Those who seek praise and have attachment to the outcome will turn back when others criticize them. Those who are serving Truth are steadfast.
