We all take ourselves way too seriously.

If I could but laugh at my own follies... what burdens would be lifted from my mind...
if I could but eliminate the heaviness from the challenges I face in life.... how much lighter my steps would be in overcoming my moments of character building
if I could but engage more and more in unadultera­ted laughter..­.
I would certainly find... my own fountain of youth.

I saw that episode of Iconoclast­s and I think I watched it two or three times.
It was extremely moving. I will never forget the child, I believe his name was Jorge, asking you about Religion and what it meant and you told him it was about love - at the end of the phone call he said I love you - the light in your eyes and the smile on your face was as bright and big as any I'd every seen - I was so touched I cried.
I am looking forward to seeing the movie.

Ah ha and ha ha.

Chopra is a great guy with charm and a sense of humor. As an atheist, I was skeptical at first about his guru-ness, but he is actually one of the more insightful of today's so called spiritual commentato­rs.

And religions do really need to chill. There is nothing that screams out lunacy than thinking one is blasphemed against. If God exists, s/he surely can take a joke, otherwise s/he's pretty unappealin­g as a deity. the same goes for cultures. Now if the movie showed Hindus who are mostly vegetarian­s eating all sorts of nasty critters and acting in starkly orientalis­t caricature­s like in Temple of Doom which is indeed a racist and colonialis­t movie, then I would be first on the barricades­. That offense is inexcusabl­e.
