I love to tell how I'm suffering because one percent we're paying 25 percent of the total. We're not paying 25 percent of the total taxes on individuals.

Meditation is only a methodology to make you aware that your only disease is your ego, and your only health is egolessness.

And I think single people have better friendships.
