There are also thousands of easterners flocking to our part of the world to thrive, practice business and seek material immanence. Some find what they're looking for. Others give up and go home. A few become so consumed by their quest for richness that it kills them.

Different kind of grenner pasture...

Proves to show you that each persons needed are often never really found, We are all searching for something more that what we have, it may be material or spiritual. Something seems to be missing?

Personally, I just want another beer, simple life for me.

Count Keyserling writes in his diary that when he came to India he understood for the first time that poverty, starvation, ill health, these are necessary requirements for spirituality. These are rationalizations. And everybody wants to be higher than the other, superior to the other.

Now, there is no other way for Indians to declare their superiority. They cannot compete in science, in technology, in industry, but they can compete in spirituality. They are more able to fast, to starve themselves. For thousands of years they have practiced starvation, so they have become very very accustomed to it; it is easy for them
