Quote by Shunya

“The universe is like an ocean but we break away from it and start living in our own little hole. Then we spend whole life preventing the hole from getting dry or muddy. Once you are one with the ocean, no polluted stream can make you impure and no fire can dry you.”

We have artists with no scientific knowledge and scientists with no artistic knowledge, and both with no spiritual sense of gravity at all. And the result is not just bad, it is ghastly. The time for real reunification of art and technology is really long overdue.”
