Understanding this quote
The speaker says that life’s basic needs are very few: a simple pot to hold food and a straw mat for sleep. Calling these the “only real things” places greater value on practical necessities than on possessions or comfort beyond what is needed for eating and resting. The statement expresses a deliberately simple view of what is enough.
