"Il fatto che gli incontri siano quattro non è una scelta casuale, ma si ricollega al profondo significato simbolico che il numero in questione riveste nella cultura indiana: la trascendenza. I fini che l’uomo hindu persegue nella sua esistenza sono l’aderenza alla norma, il conseguimento dell’utile materiale, il perseguimento della felicità erotico-affettiva, ma la sua vera realizzazione sta nel moksha, la liberazione da ogni coinvolgimento mondano per attingere l’immortalità. "
