Someone asked me about Deepak Chopra. He has been on multiple national TV shows, has multiple books. Surely he is great
My answer to this question was
Being famous , popular, liked or rich does not mean there is anything of substance
Very similar to many politicians, singers, religious leaders, doctors – famous but no substance
The highest people are those that no one knows. There have been many tirthankars, sufis, saints that hardly 5 people knew
No one went to them or will go to them for advancement
People are generally comfortable with their ignorance and refuse to get out
Like Vivekananda said , they want to stay in their fish storage horse ( or pig sty)
