We have the physician on the outside and the physician on the inside.

We really don't understand our own power.

See, I have this kind of idea that when God created this earth, whoever God is to whoever you are, created the earth.

And it was beautiful and everything was in place and the way it should be.

And he said to us, now, you are the only creatures that have the right to choose and have free will.

So therefore, I give you dominion over the Earth.

And we decided that what he meant by dominion was dominance.

And so we've taken over the Earth and done what we darn well choose with it.

So it's that reality, the inner part of us.

We're all reaching for our true humanity.

And that true humanity understands that we are the ones who do the healing.

You know, you can be a seed in the great pyramid for 5,000 years and nothing happens until love, which is light and water and so on, softens the shell and the seed opens up and it grows.

When a mother is pregnant, she and that baby are one unit.

But that aspect of reality that is that baby that is being nurtured and grown within the womb doesn't really find its own identity until it takes its first breath.

So it's this reality that life and love are one unit as we work with each other.

That way we can really understand aspects of ourselves, but

aspects of the world around us and aspects of other people, too.

So those two came together, and I understood those.

But laughter with love is joy and happiness.

It's why you singers sing, why painters paint.

It's that inner aspect of our being that comes alive.

And we'll work five times as hard as we were when we were dragging ourselves along with the drudgery thing.

But listening with love is understanding.

So these five Ls have been very helpful for me in structuring and understanding the philosophy and the life that I'm working with.

And you've been a teacher, you've been a doctor, but

you've been writing books and you've just put out a new book, the well Lived Life, where you share six secrets.

What do you hope people learn from that book?

I hope they really understand love being the teacher and love being the essence of healing.

My spirit needs to bear witness with thy spirit.

We need to let the energy of our being move and help.

And as we help others, we help ourselves.

It's that life flow that is so essential.

Spend time looking for what I call the light.

You know, I kind of see myself walking along with a flashlight in the dark on my path.

And it's dark and I can just go as far as my flashlight takes me.

But as I'm walking along, sometimes there's a.

On the side of the path there's a light that is not very bright.

If I shine my light over there, all of a sudden that light becomes great.

In other words, as we reach out for each other just with whatever we have, whatever the opportunity is, and

you use it and you work forward with it, you're helping people in ways that, you know, not.

I understand that you had a chance to meet one of history's greatest teachers.

We were in the train and leaving Roorkee to go to Bombay.

And I was really sad because I didn't want to leave India and I knew I had to.

And so I'm sitting in the train with my face plastered against the window, really looking out.

In India there are always crowds of people.

Well, there were crowds of people here, but

there was a man walking in front of this crowd and he had on a dhoti and a staff.

And when he came into my sight and he reached down, a little girl was handing him a flowers.

He took the flower and as he looked up, he looked straight into my eyes and I looked into his.

But I felt a connection of love that was really, really important to me.

I watched him go on with the salt march that he was doing and so on.

Thirty years later, my parents were working with Gandhi as India was torn apart with the Partition, Hindus and Mohammedans killing each.

And my parents had their little medical and they took it around to camps and did what they could.

When Gandhi was speaking, my dad would get up on the platform with him and they would talk together to the people.
