I follow no doctrine. I don't belong to a church or a temple or a synagogue or an ashram.
I don't think of the ashram world as being any more spiritual than the corporate world.
I suffer snakes to be killed in the ashram when it is impossible to catch them and put them out of harm's way.
If you're living your life avoiding stress, you must be living on an ashram.
My parents were hippies. They met at an ashram, where they were studying how to be enlightened.
I realized that my friends in the ashram needed to be celibate because, for them, sexuality was a very tacky issue.
I told [Bill Gates] I believed every word of what I said but that I should never have said it in public. I wish him the best, I really do. I just think he and Microsoft are a bit narrow. He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger.
