It's funny thinking of the kind of people that exist! I've recently got acquainted with a guy who harbours an ambition to become a yogi and meet one, lives on organic food, and has given up on most material comforts. Not that I've a problem with his kind of lifestyle, which I know he chose after some fatal accidents a decade ago, but such people only live for themselves. Every time, we have a conversation, I have to listen to the benefits of living such a yogic life, of yoga and such similar things. These people are also so critical about everyone else's perspective. I would never ever want to recommend such a life even to the most impoverished souls if I come across any.
It's also exasperating to have a normal conversation about the daily life struggles or any topic prevalent in the world. Basically, these people think they have attained all knowledge because of yoga and hence, discard others' views vehemently. And, I've observed they are so self-centered. Heck, WE, the regular folks, who live "precarious" lives according to their expert opinion on us, actually have a lively life! At least we don't put up fake pretences of how the only exercise beneficial to body is yoga, that allopathy is killing our bodies and how natural medicine like ayurveda is the best, or how Indian philosophy beats western philosophy in all respects. Like, grow up people. Can we not live without feeling the need to bash up every other Non-Indian thing that did not originate here?
Phew, I don't know what they think of when they live such solitary life amidst the chaos of humanity! They go so far to say, someday Indians will realise their heritage and traditions are the best in the world. Just one more word on similar lines and I've had it with them. I think the world does not need such individuals solely living for themselves, especially when there are so many in the world who struggle to live, get past from one day to next!
