I mentioned Einstein's view on sanity precisely to imply that sanity is a relative thing: by conventional standards Hemingway was not normal. <br /><br />It is the Rig Veda and other such scriptures that bleach the yogi, not me. It's not my personal view. My personal view is that our yogis are worse than us when it comes to greed, jealousy, craftiness, political chicanery, sensuality, deception... an endless list. <br /><br />I didn't juxtapose the two: I contrasted them, put them at the two ends of the passion-dispassion continuum.

Can't say I agree with yogis either - bleached of feeling. What I'm curious about is your desire to juxtapose the two.
