Summary

This quote highlights the idea that simplicity does not solely depend on one's choices or circumstances, but also on their mindset. It suggests that a person who indulges in luxury or expensive indulgences without overthinking or following a set of principles is actually displaying simplicity. On the other hand, a person who sticks to eating simple and affordable food for the sake of adhering to principles may not necessarily be embodying simplicity if they are rigid and restricted in their thinking. Simplicity, in this context, is about embracing the present moment and enjoying life without unnecessary complications or limitations.

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
