I remember an insightful advice given by Krishnaji as early as 1976. Krishnaji, Mary Zimbaist, and I were at Malibu. At lunch the discussion turned to ageing and people having serious handicaps and illness. I exclaimed that I would not like to live much longer if I became handicapped or paralysed. His response was rather strange.He said, ‘What arrogance! There are millions of people physically and mentally handicapped and deprived. You cannot dictate terms to life. Whatever comes face it intelligently’.- Sunanda Patwardhan
