We are fortunate to have had so many wonderful souls as examples in our lives—Radha’s and Meera’s love for Krishna; Jesus’s ability to heal, His humility and His ability to forgive even when in pain; Mahatma Gandhi’s fearlessness in going against the British empire. There are also many examples in history as to what not to be. In the heat of the moment, we get inspired by sages and saints, but soon we go back to our ways and lose our inspiration. How do we sustain our yearning? Get fed up with everything and make your life an example for others to follow. I am working in a different direction: It is easier to become an example of what not to be.— Satish Daryanani
