The problem I face when I discuss spiritual issues with people steeped in Bhakti is that I often feel like I am walking on egg shells. I really do not know when they would take offense about something that I say. This means I am constantly worried when they would brand me a blasphemous bastard and decide to deal with me (dealing could be in various ways from avoiding talking to me to issuing a fatwa). This fear exists in me despite the total genuineness, kindness and humility of many such people whom I interact with constantly. It is so damn difficult! If only i knew how to transcend this fear, I would be able to extract a lot of gems from them!
