Dhru Purohit

He's passed away a few years ago.

He was a Jain monk and his name was Gurudev Chitra Banerjee.

He was one of the first Jain monks.

I won't get into the whole history, but Jain monks weren't allowed to leave India, but he came to the US and he set up some of the first like

Jane Temples, which is a tradition out of India, philosophy, a way of life.

He had this great quote.

He said, nobody can change your channels unless you give them your remote control.

And to add to that, my little ad lib version is that

just the inherent byproduct of growing up with somebody, living in a family, you know, our family knows all the buttons on the remote control and we've given it to them, right?

That's why Ram Dass has that famous quote, you think you're so enlightened, go spend a weekend with your family, right?

Go spend a weekend living with your family, right?

They're going to trigger all your stuff

That's there because you've also given them that remote control.

But when you look at a lot of evolved families, and evolved families is not people that have something that's happened or genetically they just got it figured out, they're enlightened.

It's families that are really working through the sh**.

They get triggered.

They apologize.

They work on themselves.

They're constantly thinking about things.

I like to think I have a family business.
