How enthusiasm sells a book
I handed a student at San Francisco State University four books. He was walking by with a skateboard under his arm, wearing a red hoody. I told him that this is spiritual knowledge from India and that I'm a monk.
He handed back the books back and said, "I am an atheistic, satanic worshiper."
I responded with a resolute "Fantastic!" and pulled The Nectar of Instruction from the stack. I told him he should get this one and showed him the Sanskrit. He could even chant the verses, I said. I asked for a donation.
He said he only had one dollar. I took it, and he walked away with the book.
Your servant,
