So whenever it happens again, just say to them, 'Shut up!' and don't pay much attention. Become indifferent and go on your way. Whatsoever you want to do, do. Only by doing it you will prove them wrong; otherwise there is no way.
Once glimpses start coming to you, and you are on the right track, and you feel that yes, you are arriving, they will disappear by themselves. They will not be able to show their face to you. In fact use them as a challenge that you have to prove them false. This is your life's work.

In fact there is no answer. There are only two states of mind -- a mind full of questions and a mind empty of questions.
So the whole growth is to come to a point where you can live without answers; that is what maturity is -- and to live without answers is the greatest
