“India had shown me life in all its terrible, glorious extremes.  She had laid bare both the utter horror and inexpressible wonder of humanity. And through it all, She had revealed that the meaning of life is not found in affluence or poverty, health or sickness.  Neither in fame or obscurity, science or politics.  Nor in a belief in one, many or no gods.  The true meaning of life is found simply in our relationships with one another.”
