“We find reading within ourselves. It is a spirit, and who knows, may one day save our life.”

“A person can influence a situation or the situation can influence a person.”

“Kirtan is spiritually uplifting! It spreads its beautiful, peaceful vibrations and uplifts the soul!”

“The worst part about a break up isn’t the loss of a relationship. It’s finding out that the person you once loved doesn’t exist anymore. You start mourning the death of somebody who is still alive. It’s painful and sobering. It’s knowing that the person you loved has vanished into thin air and all that’s left behind is their ghost”

“Don’t be afraid to get high. Take the chance whenever it presents itself and get high on passion, on poetry, music, and art. Get drunk on nature, on silence, on the sunrise and sunset, on sensuality and sex. Get lit on the moon and lost in the stars. Sip with equal ardor the divine and the mundane alike. Let your inhibitions go. Drop the defenses. Live in the moment, with no motes to cross and no walls to scale before you can allow yourself to become lost – lost in your senses, in your heart, in the world, in your mind. If you want to make the most of this life, you have to feel it fully, to inhale it deeply, to drink with abandon. You can’t be afraid to get high.”

“Love is its own reward. We do not have to worry about what other people think about us. We can never feel alone or isolated when we understand that it is impossible for love to leave our side. Love is all around us.”

“Really to believe in human nature while striving to know the thousand forces that warp it from its ideal development-to call for and expect much from men and women, and not to be disappointed and embittered if they fall short- to try to do good with people rather than to them- this is my religion on its human side. And if God exists, I think that he must be in the warm sun, in the kindly actions of the people we know and read of, in the beautiful things of art and nature, and in the closeness of friendships.”

“I have finally come to the realisation that nothing is truer than our own manifestation.I mean society sucks, everything is backwards and I am awake in a world alone full of ignorant minds, toxic belief systems and sleeping souls.My mind is a bed of soil for me to plant my seeds, I need to keep my soil healthy.I have to water my seeds with actions and in the warmth of presence day by day, I appreciate watching my plants grow.I am fluid, I am objective and I make noise waking the sleeping souls around me as my garden comes to life.Lead by example.”

“The world is fairly studded and strewn with pennies cast broadside by a generous hand. But- and this is the point- who gets excited by a mere penny? But if you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in fact planted in pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of days.”

“Sex parties, alcohol and drugs lost their appeal to Sven after a while. Music never did, in his continual search for that sober connection–intimacy with one person over a long period of time, as opposed to periods of intimacy with a bunch of random faces.”
