191. Vegetate

Madal:

Chinmoy, my uncle always stays home and vegetates. Is there anything that I can do for the poor man?

Chinmoy:

Yes, Madal, you can. After your daily prayers and meditation you should go and talk to your uncle for ten minutes at least. He will get much inspiration from you and then he will give up leading an unthinking and useless life.
