"Both art and spirituality have a goal, and that goal is supreme joy, supreme delight. We can say that art is a tree of evolution. We climb up this tree in order to pluck the fruits of light and delight, and we climb down this tree in order to distribute the fruits of light and delight."
"The ultimate goal of an artist lies only in pure spirituality. Spirituality means Infinity, Eternity and Immortality. Spirituality is ones own reality. If one does not ultimately reach his own reality, then he is always a failure. So the ultimate goal of any artist, no matter what kind of artist he is, is spirituality - if he has any ultimate goal as such. That is because spirituality is the only reality, which embodies Infinity, Eternity and Immortality. The artist can achieve that goal through his artistic expression while remaining in the highest consciousness."
