- I think that writing memoir is the most potent action I can take in this world. When I sit down to write – not an easy place to get to – I feel all my energies and abilities come into one focus, one laser point – I feel like a bird, pausing in mid-air, then plummeting down into the waves, intent on that one fish that will save it. I write, then come up for air, then look at what I have unearthed. It usually looks like just a handful of dust, not worth much. I could easily toss it out and forget about it. But I don’t. Not anymore. I add it to the pile. I am not sure what I am building, but this is all I have. For some reason, it is my most precious thing, the one thing that feels purely my own.

It is really surprising to those in India that people would believe that peace could be found in a country that is in itself farthest from peace, justice and truth. Although it's not hard to see why? It's a poor country yet not in the grip of consumerism so there must be some humility and spirituality in it. The culture was great once upon a time, now it is just a country with confused, disillusioned souls, those who get it either leave the country or rule those confused ones. The gurus are one of the menace that politicians are ignoring simply because it means tourism money also lots of money from the local well heeled trying on a little karama cleansing. SAD.
I'll never forget the 1994 New Yorker article about the cult of Gurumayi. Everyone who read it knew they were reading about a dangerous cult. I am appalled Oprah repeatedly peddles this New Age swill to her gullible, equally daft followers, and the likes of Julia Roberts, who actually make this into a film. BUYER BEWARE!
