A rough translation: "Once at a memorial conference of Uku Masing, my old literature teacher came to me and asked, 'Sven, why are you so interested in the Orient? We do have our own culture here.' I thought a bit and answered, 'Dear teacher, it is not the East, West, North or South that matters - what matters is wisdom, and it is not important where or which direction this wisdom comes from.'
Thank you very much Maarja. He is a great inspiration to me as an artist, but also in his spirituality.
Jaa

I would very much appreciate it if someone could translate this to English. Thank you in advance :)
