Even before I knew Yoga in this life, I was into that kind of thing.

I have projects in life that I'm engaged in, I have things that stimulate me in my life, that make me happy. But more interesting for me is: I'm still trying to figure it out.

I studied Sanskrit for many years, and I've got all the coursework for my Ph.D. And a lot of what's going on in American Yoga is just made-up stuff. Smart people, even good people, Western therapists, Yoga therapists and other things, Western healthcare practitioners who love Asana and say, "Let's make up yoga therapy."

It's going to be over fairly soon; it goes by quick. Even if I live till I'm one hundred, it's quick.

For me, life has been interesting and entertaining, and I'm interested and curious about what's going to happen each day.

I think I've always had a pretty good time in life. I mean, I've had major trouble, and major brain surgeries, and challenges in relationships - like anyone else - but overall, when I wake up in the morning, and I'm aware, I'm like, "Ok. What's happening today? What's next?"

Your experience is nutrition. You digest your experience and you grow from it.
