    I think as long as divine mother likes me and I like her and she covers me I am happy and when that stops guess it's time to go to the grave-earthly mother in kailas,earthly father in vaikunt(I guess)-only small concept of divine mother exists.

Translation

أجد أن الشيء العظيم في هذا العالم هو ، ليس إلى حيث نقف ، كما هو الحال في الاتجاه الذي نتحرك فيه.

Ich finde, das Tolle auf dieser Welt ist nicht so sehr, wo wir stehen, sondern in welche Richtung wir uns bewegen.

Creo que lo mejor de este mundo es, no tanto dónde estamos parados, sino en qué dirección nos estamos moviendo.

Je trouve que la grande chose dans ce monde n'est pas tant où nous en sommes, que dans quelle direction nous allons.

uważam, że wielką rzeczą na tym świecie jest nie tyle to, gdzie stoimy, co kierunek, w którym zmierzamy.
