“I am the creator of the bike. I have created the bike, my bike. It is OK that a bike has been existing for hundreds of years; the important part is the pleasure of discovery. Many phenomena existed before me (nothing is new in the world), it is me who opened the eyes and saw the Mountain, it was created by me, I invented it in me and I have a belief in what I have built. As soon as I stop creating the Mountain, it will cease its existence.”
