When I walked around the downtown area, I met a sadhu, an ascetic of Hinduism. It was said that there were 4 to 5 million sadhus in this country. He wore a bushy gray beard. And a symbol which meant he relied on Shiva was drawn on his forehead. He seemed to walk for alms there.

I saw his eyes crystal-clear. Because he entered the priesthood, he might appear not to have any worries. Most of the worries in the world could be about money. So if I adopted an attitude of indifference to money, I could get clear eyes like him.
