Q: You gave up a successful career to follow a spiritual path. What inspired you to do that?
Michael Fischman: I was always looking for my purpose in life, and a way to contribute in a bigger way. I knew that my advertising career wasn’t right. Of course, people don’t have to give up their careers or family to lead an integrated spiritual life or to make a contribution. But in my case, I was searching. I guess I was also responding to the need of the time, with this start-up spiritual organization, though I didn’t think of it that way then. The real answer to your question is that the first time I assisted Sri Sri with an Art of Living Course, in 1989, it was a high I had never experienced in the working world, or anywhere. I was so inspired, and happy to be involved in something that was so beneficial. I continued to feel a greater connection to life as I kept helping. There was so much satisfaction.
