That is negative post, nirvāṇa. That is Buddha philosophy, nirvāṇa. "Stop these material nonsense activities." But unless he has got positive activities, how he can give up this nonsense? Paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate [Bg. 9.59]. You must give good engagement. Otherwise, he'll go on committing all nonsense.
