you have nothing. Do you understand this?” And the person says: “Enough,
don’t say that.” I ask: “But why? It is the truth.” But it is unpleasant for people.
And this greed, it deceives you all. I say:

— It is in you. This hunger and greed, it needs to be somehow tamed.

And further I give him another interesting example. I say:

— Do you know what is most interesting? Here you people think that if you
want, as an example, a car or an apartment, then for this you need to sit
endlessly in social networks, communicate with everyone, eternally talk
about this, eternally inflate this ego-self-love, of your hungry needs.
And as if you do all of this, then as if it will bring you closer to the goal
you set: to buy a car or an apartment in a year or two. But in reality, then
a year or two passes, and you buy nothing. But if you tamed your devil,
demon and refused society, simply sat at home with a book, read a book, did
meditation, yoga, exercises, ate a modest breakfast, porridge, like in the movie
‘The Matrix’. And simply engaged in something, let’s say, a figurative
example, carved someone out of wood or sculpted from clay, from decorative
concrete, made a Hindu deity, then if you just sat modestly like that and
wanted nothing, just did some one thing, then a year, two or three later you
would already be able to buy yourself both a car and an apartment with this
money after this business. And all this noise of these ambitions and hunger,
this opinion, all this, self-love — it only clouds your mind.

I say all this to the person, and I see that he is just silent. I say:

— Why are you silent?
— It’s nothing. — he answers me so rudely, with such a different tone
already, ‘nothing’.
— Nothing, that it is unpleasant what I said, I am generally trying to get
through to you, giving only real advice.
— Everything is fine. — he answers me with a raised voice.
— Well say what is wrong.
— Everything is fine. — he again answers me so rudely.
