Nice gentleman named TJ from Brooklyn. He was getting off work when he ran into us, he’s a construction worker in the downtown area where we were distributing books. He came up to us and asked us if we’re monks? Then he asked me about the books right away and started saying that this world is like the matrix and he knows it’s like a virtual reality or like a chess game! I told him yes he has a lot of understanding that this world is not the real thing, it’s the world of MΔyΔ or illusion. I explained that in society the leaders don’t teach people this kind of spiritual knowledge especially because they want to keep everyone on the bodily platform that way people remain in ignorance and it’s easier for them to control us. I showed him our set and he was very much into receiving the knowledge, he was happy to take the books and gave a nice donation. He’s looking forward to visiting our ashram for the Sunday feast.
