18. Anathema

Madal:

Chinmoy, I am sure no disciple of yours drinks, for it is anathema to you.

Chinmoy:

Madal, you are right. No true disciple of mine will ever drink. It is not at all true that drinking is despised by me. But I do feel that drink is extremely harmful to the body. That is why my disciples abstain from drinking.
