In an assembly of people whose only motivation is to demotivate and criticize, it is wiser to keep silent and have faith in hari-guru-vaiṣṇavas:
kolāhale kāka-kulasya jāte
virājate kokila-kūjitaṁ kim?
parasparaṁ saṁvadatāṁ khalānāṁ
maunaṁ vidheyaṁ satataṁ sudhībhiḥ
virājate kokila-kūjitaṁ kim?
parasparaṁ saṁvadatāṁ khalānāṁ
maunaṁ vidheyaṁ satataṁ sudhībhiḥ
"When a loud commotion of a massive group of crows is going on, there
will be no value of a cuckoos sweet voice. Similarly when rascals
converse with each other, the saintly souls advise us to keep
'constantly' quiet." (Subhāṣita-ratna-bhāṇḍāgāra, Mauna-guṇāḥ, page 86)
