Description: Humans are very adaptive, and when they see somebody else doing something, then they tend to think, 'I can do this too.' And as Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā, all our states of consciousness have come because of our previous sangas. There was a curious case about how people used to think that they couldn't run a mile in under four minutes, and it persisted for centuries. There were theories that you could not do it, otherwise your heart would explode, and so forth. Then there was this doctor named Roger Bannister, who was also a runner, and he practiced and practiced. Eventually, he beat the four-minute mile. After that, it became commonplace; everybody did it, and it just became the standard. Now in college, if you don't run under a four-minute mile, you're not really on the team. So, you know, when we see a higher standard in other people, we tend to think, 'Oh, maybe it's possible I can do it also.' And we don't come to that awareness until we come into the association of those who have a higher standard. I remember being at some temple, I was taking devotees on sankirtana. There was this one devotee who, every time he got in the van, he'd immediately start reading. He'd be chanting all the time, not in an annoying way, but it was just noticeable that he was enthusiastic about not wasting any time. Everybody on the party noticed it and felt that, 'Oh, I should be doing that too.' So we tend to pick up from others. Or monkey see, monkey do.
