it's a simple thing to verify what someone does at night. since this has not been revealed, i am sure that he is eating, drinking, and sleeping at night. and this makes me sad that he and his followers would not simply say that he meditates all day and eats, sleeps, and drinks at night. if he wasn't doing these things, there would be no secrecy around him at night.

still, it's a marvelous accomplishment to be able to sit still all day without eating, drinking, or getting pained, tired, or bored.

i would have preferred for them to be honest about it from the beginning, and congratulate the young man for what he is actually able to do, which is still an extraordinarily rare, if not superhuman feat.
