“On the other side, is a substantial, more materialism, everything…” quote by Surya Das — Download Open image

“On the other side, is a substantial, more materialism, everything is real long to the extent we can see or measure it, and things are as real as I think they. That's way too materialistic or substantialist, because things are not really what they seem to be.”
