[Alexandr Korol]

not to laugh at it, not to use it, not to exploit it for your benefit, but rather to speak with them as if they were your child. That is, you must look at any person like that, with absolutely no percentage of gain for yourself, and only offer him the most sincere, pure path for him, if suddenly the person asks you about something. That is how it must be. And it is like an inspection under a microscope, the system will be watching, waiting for the moment you get conceited even a little. And under no circumstances must you allow that.

Well, let me give an example. Suppose, imagine some... it doesn’t matter, a banker — I’ll give you that example right away — or a plumber. You see, poor and rich, as they say. And now imagine, this plumber or banker wants to give me money for something, to buy a boat. They want to add money for this boat. And if I only need one thousand rubles for this boat, then if it is the uncle banker, I must not in any case ask for two thousand rubles, under no circumstances. All right, I’ll give another example. If you asked for one apple and you are given three, you must not take advantage of this. That is, this modesty must be so absolute that you can hardly imagine it, in any situation — in business, in family, in friendship, with strangers — as if you are entirely in service to people. That is, if a grandmother is selling something for one thousand rubles, you must not bargain with her; if it is a grandmother before you, let her earn money. And in fact, even if it is not a grandmother, even if it is a strong athletic person, even with him you must not bargain, because even if you know you could, by this very act you understand and acknowledge the person before you, and that this is the world in which people live, while you are one from the world of happiness, the bubble, the world of heaven. And you are even happy, as if, that you are giving people the opportunity to earn money. And even if a person deceives you and says that this costs not one thousand rubles but two thousand, you must not prove to him or show him that you know he is deceiving you. You must not. You smile and say, all right, and give him two thousand rubles. And here, when similar things were highlighted to me again, it was because I begin to do this on autopilot in the world of heaven. And then I began to remember how in childhood I had the same thing, when I was in the world of heaven, that when someone deceived me, I gave even more money.
