How can I deal with objection towards spirituality?

Infinite attempts to look good in the eyes of the world have not accrued any benefit, because traversing through life cycles and its causes are still present. One birth spent towards the upliftment of the Soul will compensate for infinite life cycles; this is my humble understanding and all my activities are aimed towards this. It is my belief that I should adopt the best possible means and instruments to be free of this intense bondage. Why then should I consider whether it is favourable or unfavourable to the world? Regardless of what it says, if the soul is being free of its shackles and attaining samadhi (state of tranquillity), this should be done. This will lead to freedom from fame or infamy forever.

To be free from passion and aversion from everywhere, that only is my religion;

Maintain soul-consciousness in everything; remain meditative. It is not at all right to feel glad or sad about anything in the world, relatives, family or friends. To aspire for a state of supreme tranquillity, that only is our universally accepted religion, and in this repeated longing it will be attained. Therefore, have no anxiety. I belong to no sect, but dwell in the Soul; do not forget this.
