To think, that you can start with the manifestation is a big problem that we have in urban space. People think they can build a house in concrete, which could last hundreds of years, just pop it out of the ground and then it works. But that's not how things evolve and grow, things need need to be planted, need to be worked on. And if I want a temple to be a temple I cannot just build it and just leave it there, I need to go there every day or whatever that rhythm will be to keep it alive. And this is the nature of human beings, that we think that things could be somehow infinite, but they are not. We have to maintain them.
