Gao Xingjian, Soul Mountain
“Reality exists only through experience, and it must be personal experience. However, once related, even personal experience becomes a narrative.”“You should know that there is little you can seek in this world, that there is no need for you to be so greedy, in the end all you can achieve are memories, hazy, intangible, dreamlike memories which are impossible to articulate. When you try to relate them, there are only sentences, the dregs left from the filter of linguistic structures.”
Have a nice Sunday.

Are these your own words Swami or....?
Anyway, I agree with this - whomever said it (?) - and it´s a nice thought to ponder on.
But ... this morning, 1 second before I wake up ..... my mind generated a sentence.
"Beginnen von Kunst. Beginnen des Friedens." that means "Begin of art. The begin of peace."
This words combined in this way I never read in some book. But I read related to ceativity and art.
So. The idea is that when you start to be an artist, pr creative, you start the first step into the inwardly peace.
I let you to judge if this is true or not. I am checking also. If is tru then why? If not then why not?
If it was the first thought that came into your mind on waking it's very meaningful and certainly carries a message for you?
But sorry. I have to sleep. Tomorrow I wake up at 6.00.
Have a nice evening.
