“Nothing,” Unni sighed. “I can’t sit still. My mind screams in Malayalam. The Sanskrit mantras feel foreign.”
His tagline became famous: "നിന്റെ ഉള്ളിലെ യോഗിയെ കണ്ടെത്തുക; അവൻ ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് സംസാരിക്കില്ല, അവൻ മലയാളത്തിൽ ചിരിക്കും." (Find the yogi within you; he won't speak English, he will laugh in Malayalam.)
For the first time, Unni tasted coffee. Really tasted it. The bitterness, the warmth, the silence between sips. That was his first dhyana (meditation).
