If I do not know what I want, what can be sold to me? Anything. How do you know you need anything you aspire for? No, no, that need is artificial.

Questioner: Namaste Acharya Ji. So my question is, if I fix myself, we all fix ourselves. So if I start refusing the simple life, which now we can call stupidity.
So, sir, there is 1% of people who are ruling this world, right? They are causing a lot of problems. So we know all the problems. But is there any way that we can solve this problem? I don’t think so, because no power can overpower them. They are the greatest power; we cannot do anything about it. So even when we know the problem, we can’t do anything.
Acharya Prashant: What exactly is the question?
Questioner: The question is about those 1% people who are ruling this world and causing all the major problems. And we are here, we start our life doing all the simple things. That is not what you call stupidity. If we start refusing all those things, they are not the major thing that is causing all the problems. The original problem is created by all those 1% people who are ruling this world, right?
