Dear Jeyamohan,
I am listening to your videos on philosophy and literature. In fact, I am watching these videos to feel intellectually closer to you. I used to imagine that I was with you at your house, listening to your thoughts and emotions.
I have been reading your books for more than 8 years, since my college days. I feel like I was always with you. That feeling saved me from a lot of silly earthly things around me. I am a married woman, leading an ordinary life filled with work, children, and a partner. My intellectual and creative life, with a lot of travel and adventure, which I imagined in my childhood, is actually with you. I am traveling with your friends in my imagination through strange lands and temples.
These videos give me a sense of connection to an intellectual world full of willpower and creative energy, something I find lacking in my personal life.
Thanks.
K
Dear K,
Being in the company of a writer or a philosopher in imagination is a common experience for almost all young people who are on an intellectual quest. Having real experience is a wonderful gift. I still cherish my memories with my outstanding teachers. I feel I am with them even now.
