...Tasteless ... like distilled water ... zero content of a cognitive sort... I was the universe moving in itself... no longer quite human ... somehow divine"-in describing his own six mystical experiences. Bharati manipulates the vague traditional formulas. He also confirms that the "zero-experience," as he calls it, may be accompanied by feelings of unspeakable ecstasy. But then he springs a heresy: "Fasting, prayer, drugs, self-mortification, fornication, standing on his head, grace, listening to Tristan and Isolde unabridged three times in a row ... for a mystic, whatever leads to the zero-experience is good...
...nomination, and he prepared for it with a deft combination of openness and secrecy: he was demonstrably open to advice, but extremely secretive about his thinking as it evolved.

His women absorb his life, and Tarkovsky shows us why. Hari is haunting and vulnerable...

But manpower is an abundant and exportable Korean resource. In Iran, where South Korean contracts have zoomed from zero in 1974 to $72.6 million in 1976, a thousand Koreans work as long-haul truck drivers. The 1,200 Koreans building a 100-mile stretch of highway in Saudi Arabia work ten hours a day, 28 days a month for $1,100 (five times their pay back home) and fly to Cairo every...
