Once the Master spoke about the hypnotic power of words. Someone from the back rows shouted:
- You're talking nonsense! Will you become a saint because you keep repeating: “God, God, God”? Will you become a sinner because you endlessly repeat: “Sin, Sin, Sin”?
- Sit down, bastard! - the Master snapped.
The man was overcome with rage. He burst into obscene language, and it took a long time before he came to his senses. With an air of remorse the Master said:
- Forgive me... I got excited. I sincerely apologize for my unforgivable attack.
The student immediately calmed down.
“Here’s your answer,” the Master concluded. - From one word you became furious, from another you calmed down.
