Notably, he frequently undertakes extended fasting periods lasting nine days or more for spiritual purposes. Similarly inclined towards such practices, I plan to embark upon a 48-to-72-hour fast after arriving in India prior to our conversation. This experience offers an invaluable chance not only to engage deeply with meditation but also to contemplate what a profound gift it is to live at all—especially possessing a mind capable of recognizing immense beauty amidst increasing exposure to humanity’s less admirable traits. Ultimately, however, these reflections serve primarily to underscore my overwhelming sense of gratitude regarding the abundance of love present in my own life."
