Every now and then I have blissful moments of thanking God for all the amazing things that are happening. When I leave the White House after just meeting Obama or when I see my face on the cover of 'Rolling Stone' or when I meet someone who tells me that their daughter is inspired by me those are moments that are incredibly joyful.

I'm not saying that there's anything better than mated bliss at its best but I'm saying that living alone is as good in its own way. But we haven't quite given ourselves permission to recognize that.

Offspring the due performance on religious rites faithful service highest conjugal happiness and heavenly bliss for the ancestors and oneself depend on one's wife alone.

Alone let him constantly meditate in solitude on that which is salutary for his soul for he who meditates in solitude attains supreme bliss.
