[A question by Ms. Thrylokya]
Swami replied: There is no sin in mocking such a stout person because such stout condition of body is not good for normal health of the body. If you mock, the person may be hurt and take the issue seriously so that the person will do exercise regularly and become a normal person with good health. Since this is doing good for the person, it is not sin at all. But, you should not mock at a person having ugly face by calling the person in the name of animals having similar face. By exercise, the features of the face cannot be changed. If you call him monkey faced, you shall remember Lord Anjaneya, who is the greatest. If you call him as dog faced, you must remember God Kaalabhairava, who is very very powerful. In this way, you must not mock anybody as ugly person based on the features of the face. The inner qualities of the personality make the eternal inner beauty about which only you shall praise. Also, you shall not mock at the black colour because God Vishnu or Goddess Mahaakaali is black. The colour of the character is always permanent and shall be praised. The external beauty or colour of the body is not at all important, which is temporary and ends with the end of the body. The real personality and colour of the soul are permanent and continues from birth to birth.
