Don't think about where we are. Don't think that New York is horrible. One can get to the sap while remaining on the hard point of the thorn. We can get to anywhere. The atmosphere we don't mind. It's a very wrong emphasis that the atmosphere is bad and therefore we get drained. It's the karma of our practice. Once we don't make a fuss about our environment, then nature will take care of us. It will put us in the right environment. Be easy and natural. Don't analyze and Being will take over. When we start to complicate things, Being gets lost. It is not that we are inert, but nature takes over."
-Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Vittel, France, 1976
