Scientific work is accorded great status because people see them work. Now see the irony. A spiritual feat such as transcending of desires or emotions is rarely projected as a herculean accomplishment. IMO, one who does the latter can easily perform the former and not vice versa. The irony is spiritual feats are so rarely seen to work that any proclamation of its achievement is interpreted as a bogus claim.

Why does my spiritual accomplishment be appreciated by anyone other than me? There are spiritual masters in Himalayas who can care less, as to what we think of them. Other than attracting followers to boost one's ego a spiritual master should not care. I can understand some spiritual masters want to share their knowledge (may be genuine), but majority is not like that.

Swami Tapovan Maharaj could not understnad the mission of Swami Chinmayananda of spreading spiritual knowledge (according to Swami Chinmayananda).
