He realized that the ultimate truth is not found in complex theories or rigid rules, but in fully living in the present moment.
"Nothing was, nothing will be; everything has reality and presence"
He observed, reminding us that the present is all we truly have.
After a lifetime of searching, suffering, and wandering, what ultimately saved Hesse was not a secret philosophy or grand achievement.
(That was something far simpler and warmer. He learned the quiet power of humor and connection).
Pyssy Riot is now living in the midst of real hardship as a victim of Russian persecution.
They need the power to see through the suffering and persecution. See the translation.

Former Pussy Riot member Rita Flores claimed that in February 2023, FSB officers coerced her into collaborating under threat of criminal prosecution and reprisals against her and her loved ones. She claims that in subsequent years, she passed information on artists and political activists to the security services, and in the summer of 2025, she was tasked with helping organize the murder of former Mediazona publisher and Pussy Riot member Pyotr Verzilov.
According to Flores, she was recruited on February 17, 2023, after a search of her Moscow apartment. That day, media reported that her phone and laptop were confiscated, and a message was sent to her lawyer from her phone informing her that she was being taken to the Investigative Committee. Flores now claims that she was actually at home with two FSB officers at the time.
According to her lawyer, the latest search was different from the previous ones. One of the officers, the first to enter the apartment, initially spoke to Flores with marked gentleness. Then another man arrived and began exerting severe pressure on her.
"First, they worked her up psychologically, then threatened her into signing one piece of paper, then two days later, they forced her to sign a second piece of paper," Zakhvatov told The Insider.
Flores herself said that during her recruitment, security officials threatened her with criminal prosecution for her publications about the killings of civilians in Bucha, as well as reprisals against her and her family. Eventually, she agreed to cooperate and signed a non-disclosure agreement. She was later taken to the security services building on Michurinsky Prospekt, where she signed the cooperation documents. According to her, she was given the codename "Harley," and her handler was an FSB officer named Ivan.
Flores's first assignment, she claims, was compiling character references for contemporary artists from Russia and neighboring countries. Subsequently, she was required to collect information on potential defendants in criminal cases: their social circles, relatives, habits, and vulnerabilities, including drug use, infidelity, and mental state. This data, according to Flores, could be used for pressure and blackmail...
Among the people about whom she was required to collect information, Flores named street artist Philipp Kozlov, known as Philippenzo, and performance artist Pavel Krisevich... Flores claims she received her most serious assignment in the summer of 2025. According to her, FSB officers offered her help in organizing the murder of Pyotr Verzilov, with whom she had previously been in a relationship. The activist was to lure him to Serbia and arrange a meeting at a predetermined café.
"After that, I was supposed to go out on the street under some pretext," Flores said. According to her, they then planned to kidnap and kill Verzilov.
For her participation in the operation, she was allegedly offered between one and three million rubles or more. Flores also claims that her handlers repeatedly asked her to find at least a partial image of Verzilov's house in Ukraine in order to locate it and plant an explosive device nearby.
Flores also said she received payment for her cooperation. Initially, she received a one-time payment of 30,000 rubles, and in the final months before her departure, she claims, the FSB paid her 50,000 rubles monthly.
