I guess he is being attacked by liberals and the media in a big way. He stays calm and non-defensive really. The sad violin music is sort of over the top, but a good video in any case.

Inner Engineering, A Yogi’s Guide to Joy
P47. Unless you do the right things, the right things will not happen to you. Principles and philosophies are only of social consequence. It is time to wake up to yourself as an existential being, a living being, rather than a psychological case. Then your destiny will be your own. One hundred percent your own. This is not an idle promise. It is a guarantee.
P58. The most horrific things in life can be a source of nourishment if you accept, “I am responsible for the way I am now.” It is possible to transform the greatest adversity into a stepping stone for personal growth. If you take one hundred percent responsibility for the way you are now, a brighter tomorrow is a possibility. But if you take no responsibility for the present- if you blame your parents, your friend, your husband, your girlfriend, your colleagues for the way you are- you have forsaken your future even before it comes. You come into this world with nothing, and you go empty handed. The wealth of life lies only in how you have allowed its experiences to enrich you. Filth can blossom into the fragrance of a flower. Manure can transform itself into the sweetness of a mango. No adversity is an impediment if you are in a state of conscious response. No matter what the nature of the situation you are in, it can only enhance your experience of life, if you allow it to. Resentment, anger, jealousy, pain, hurt, and depression are poisons that you drink but expect someone else to die. Life does not work that way. Most people take lifetimes to understand this simple truth.

My thoughts,
Inner Engineering, A Yogi’s Guide to Joy P47. Unless you do the right things, the right things will not happen to you. Most things are not 'right' or 'wrong' only better or worse, for the short course, or the long course. Principles and philosophies are only of social consequence. It is time to wake up to yourself as an existential being, a living being, rather than a psychological case. Then your destiny will be your own. One hundred percent your own. This is not an idle promise. It is a guarantee. Destiny (the events that will necessarily happen to a particular person or thing in the future likened to fate). We are only our present, not our past and not our future. We are what we do and think now.P58. The most horrific things in life can be a source of nourishment if you accept, “I am responsible for the way I am now.” It is possible to transform the greatest adversity into a stepping stone for personal growth.

Most people take lifetimes to understand this simple truth. Horrific things in life can be a wake up call that something is amiss, but resentment, anger, jealousy, pain, hurt, depression are not any poisons you have to drink, there's always the choice to abstain.This 'simple truth' is one of the most difficult things to understand. Changing the world is not always possible, but changing yourself- your attitudes and behavior- is where the battle is done and won.Thanks GS.
