Comment: I lived normally, worked normally, was passionate about my job, and then suddenly, bam, I was empty. Suddenly, there is no point. There is work, there is a job, there is money, but I see no meaning in it.

Answer: This is natural. This is a person’s growth. This is gradual human development.

One’s egoism is no longer fulfilled. It is still the same egoism, which is our foundation. But there was a time when it was fulfilled; it enjoyed work, honor, fame, knowledge, money, the opportunity to somehow realize all this. And today, no. The opinion of others does not matter; climbing some ladder does not matter.

You could say there is a kind of fatigue, maybe like in any metal or material, it is the same here.

Comment: It is called “burnout.” There is even such a term.

Answer: “Burnout,” nicely said, yes.

Egoism has switched to the next operating mode. It is no longer enough for it that it is given everything, the things that used to bring satisfaction, fulfillment, the gratification of vanity, and so on. Now, it is not. What should I do? I don’t know why I should do anything. Why I should live or work? I don’t know! I am simply not interested in it at all.

There is just no satisfaction, no fulfillment, no saturation. Why work? Why live? There is no reason. That is it. Give me a pill, and that is it. People will get to this point!

Comment: Yes, I feel that they will, for sure.

Answer: Why not? It is a way out of suffering. I would like to forget and fall asleep.

Question: So you hand out the pill. You have now, let us say, brought us to this dead end. I even clearly feel that this will happen. I am almost certain it will. So what should a person do in such a situation? You keep saying that there will be such a universal cry.

Answer: Yes, but that cry is the awareness of the true desire to understand the meaning of life. In other words, why do I need all this?

To such an extent that even children, which is the most important thing for a person, and especially for a woman, will no longer bring joy.

You will have everything, absolutely everything, but you will not even be able to mechanically carry out your work or do something for them. Nothing! This is the real despair from the emptiness of the egoistic Kli.

Question: So when will deliverance come?

Answer: Deliverance from this state will come when there is an immense wail to the heavens, and humanity begins to understand why it really exists, and not before.

It is only when a true need arises to understand the meaning of life. We will live to see it!
