He was told that he spoke like a monk, a sign of becoming one holy man. He use to think that monks are ridiculous, similar like how others think of monks. It was a view in most that sees monks as a being who waste their life by abandoning all the so-called pleasures, enjoyment and essence of life in the world. Monks are superficial beings who only speaks of holiness in the most serious manner as they could. Monks are clowns in most people inner perspective, humans look at them with disgust and jest in their minds, but yet again, humans never look within themselve of how, what and who they are to make laughter out of the noblest act in life.
IF A MONK/NUN WERE TO GIVE YOU WORDS OF ADVICE, IS IT NOT RIGHT TO LISTEN TO THEM ATTENTIVELY AND LEARN FROM THEM THAN LAY PEOPLE SIMILAR YOU?
IS IT NOT IN THE RIGHT MIND TO LISTEN TO AND PRACTICE FROM THOSE SELF-LESS HOLY MIND THAN THOSE CORRUPTED SHROUDED MIND AND SPEECH OF SOCIETY YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH?
IS IT NOT RIGHT TO LEARN FROM MONK/NUN WHO HAS A HIGHER LEVEL AND PROFOUND UNDERSTANDING OF LIFE?
Monk/nuns are beings who highly exceeded layman abilities physically and mentally. Monks/nuns are individuals who have seen the through the universal truth and has made entry into the stream to change for the best to guide all lay humans to liberation. Monks/nuns are beings who are noble and virtuous for they are able to abandon their lay people life that is filled with neverending desires and attachments. Monks/nuns must be respected for their actions and their achievement to see the only truth of living. Monks/nuns are venerable beings for their patience, their insights and their pure mind that is ready to achieve Nibbana. Monks/nuns are pursuing the path of purity and true cessation from all worldly things, which makes their words from their thoughts alot wiser than lay humans out there in the world. The words of monks are words of kind intentions, without ego, and full of patience and understanding to guide humans to the right path.
So is there anything wrong for those who speak like a monk, for they might have took the hard initiative to learn the truth deeply from wise monks and ancient beings? Aren't the ways of the monks are far more noble than those around you? For monks are rid of all desires, obtaining a pure mind, right view, right character and mindfulness, they speak, without ego, and speak only of the truth to guide all to be awaken. It has nothing to do with being a disciplinarian, but only a kind helping figure to show the right way and walk away if one does not agree with them. The path of the holy beings are completely different to any lay humans. Never make jest out of monks/nuns, never look down at them, never laugh at them, never insult them, for you humans are in no place to comment anything about them with your weak sleeping undeveloped self. Shame on you humans.
In regards to above, he only speaks of true monks. Fraud and evil monks are not included in the text above. \m/
