Practice

He explained how yogis and holly men travelled and how people gave them free food so they could focus exclusively on their inner practices. If you meditated a lot, people in India felt that you were doing good work that benefits everyone. You purified the psychic airwaves, so they took care of you. (Its not like in the United States, where, when people hear you're focusing on a spiritual life, they roll their eyes and tell you to get a job.)

In India, being a full-time meditator is a job, which comes with a great benefits package.
