Acharya Prashant explains that the issue is the wrong relationship the world chooses to have with an unwise man. To have a relationship of respect, one must respect someone who is wise and can bring his wisdom to your use. If you choose to respect someone who is himself unwise, he can be of no use to you. This is a failure of relationship where something is misplaced. Respect is something that has to be placed at the right point; it is not something universal. To respect is to admit that there is something there worthy of absorption, something to look up to. If you respect just about everything, then you are absorbing a lot of trash. Therefore, respect has to be exclusive, selective, an act of distinction, and an act of exception; it cannot be something by default. It is assumed that if a person is weeping, they know their mind and have indeed lost something of substance and value, but this is a huge assumption. When you offer consolation, you consolidate their belief that they have indeed lost something. The wise one has compassion, not consolation. In compassion, you first see where the person stands and then display to them that they have not actually lost much. The wise one would say, "Cry you must, but for the right reason. Your problem is pettiness, your problem is misplaced attention." Most people who are weeping are weeping for nothing; that which they are weeping for has little value, and that which they are not weeping for is everything, and they do not know of its loss. As a seeker, you are not yet liberated and you need relationships. You have to observe a situation so that you can know your right relationship with it. You are not yet at the destination, so you do need to navigate. To navigate, you must know your relationship with every turn, bend, signal, and symbol. You have to go through the entire spectrum of relationships, including sadness, closeness, breakups, and disillusionment. You are supposed to experience every bit of it, but with the sole objective of knowing, realization, and liberation. If someone says they are a spiritual man and therefore never experience lust or anger, they are an impostor and an actor. Even Shri Krishna gets angry.
