A lot of the book [The Yoga of Max’s Discontent] is about karma and rebirth. Things like that are very attuned to my life as an Indian, but when I approach it from a perspective of a Westerner, then I have a skeptical, yet kind of novice view on it. I think that choice really liberated the story to be its own story. A lot of the conclusions that Max reaches on his own are not mine at all. So, I think that allowed the story to take on its own momentum, to have its own propulsive force.

I don’t know if there is really an objective truth about either. I liken this to what Buddhism says about the individual, that change starts with the individual. I think it is really about purifying your own actions, and I have seen that in my own life.

I don’t think of the ashram world as being any more spiritual than the corporate world.

I have been meditating for many years now, but I think for quite a few years my relationship with meditation was very intellectual. I would do meditation for all the usual things that you would think about, to be more calm, be more productive, relieve stress.

I think his karma became to serve in nature and not to serve in the world, while I think my karma is to be in the world.

I think it is really a personal journey of purification, rather than whether something external is going to be good or bad. Anything external will always live in that polarity – a combination of good and bad.
