PM Modi said that he was busy with the rigours of life, but he was determined to not let go of the peace he got at the Himalayas. To maintain a balance in life, he decided to take five days out of the year that he would spend alone.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi in an interview to the popular Facebook page Humans of Bombay said that he would go “somewhere in a jungle for five days during Diwali every year.
“Which is why, I always urge everyone, especially my young friends, in the midst of your fast-paced life and busy schedules, take some time off… think and introspect. It will change your perception – you will understand your inner self better,” Modi said.
In an Instagram post, the excerpts of the interview were shared by the Humans of Bombay. The post reads, "We all took turns to clean the RSS office, prepare tea and food for colleagues and clean utensils".
"People often asked me, Who are you going to meet?’ And I would say, 'Main mujhse milne ja raha hoon (I'm going to meet myself)’
"Which is why, I always urge everyone, especially my young friends, in the midst of your fast paced life and busy schedules, take some time off...think and introspect. It will change your perception - you will understand your inner self better. You will start living in the true sense of the word. It will also make you more confident and undeterred by what others say about you. All of these things will help you in times to come. So I just want each and every one of you to remember that you are special and that you don’t have to look outside for the light...it’s already within you," reads the post.
The PM also talked about his childhood, inclination towards the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and his two-year-long trip to the Himalayas when he was 17-years-old in the earlier interviews.
The subsequent parts 4 and 5 of the series are yet to be released.
