Reprint of Yogi Bhajan Lectures
The purpose of life is to watch and experience living. To enjoy living, every moment of it. And to live in environments which are calm, quiet, slow, sophisticated, elegant. Just to be. Whether you are naked or you have a golden robe on you, that doesn’t make any difference. The ideal purpose of your life is that you are grateful – great and full – that you are alive, and you enjoy it. ”

His areas of specialty ranged from Ayurveda to modern psychiatry and neurosurgery.
