When I was a young man I had the opportunity to listen to a great speech by a yogi who demonstrated the merits of yoga. “We can live a healthy life for a hundred years if we practice yoga ascetically,” he concluded as the audience burst into a thunderous applause. Later one of the invited guests present on the stage asked the yogi, “Do you ever enjoy some of the simple pleasures of life like eating some food which is forbidden by your creed, sipping a whiskey with sparkling soda and some ice cubes, lying on a beach watching without feeling guilty beautiful girls walk by wearing bikini...?” “No,” admitted the yogi. “What’s the point of living a hundred years then?” asked the man. And the yogi’s answer was a silent stare. Recently I visited a religious centre in Punjab. The cult has over 5000 acres of land on which an entire township is built up. But nobody can use even the mobile phone in that township. There’s a whole list of Do’s and Don’ts, unbreakable comma
