"Hallelujah" is a joyous expression the Christians have, but "Hare Krishna" has a mystical side to it. It's more than just glorifying God; it's asking to become His servant.

What I want to tell you today is not to move into that world where you're alone with yourself and your mantra and your fitness program or whatever it is that you might use to try to control the world by closing it out.

Take chances, make your own work, take pride in it. Seize the moment.
The Yogic sages say that all the pain of a human life is caused by words, as is all the joy.

To stop talking for a while, then, is to attempt to strip away the power of words, to stop choking ourselves with words, to liberate ourselves from our suffocating mantras.

Economists have provided capitalists with a comforting concept called the "free market." It does not describe any part of reality, at any place or time.
