लोभः पापस्य करणं
लोभः पापस्य करणं
Meaning: Greed is the cause of sin.
Just as fire dries up a vessel of water, greed dries up the contentment of mind. When greed enters the mind, contentment is pushed out and when contentment comes in, greed has to beat a hasty retreat.
There is no limit for greed. It thirsts for more and more, and does not hesitate to snatch what belongs to others. The only way to remove greed from the mind is to cultivate the virtue of contentment.
yallabhase nija karamopattam,
vittam tena vinodaya cittam
vittam tena vinodaya cittam
याल्लाभासे निज करामोपत्तम,
वित्तं तेना विनोदय सित्तम
Meaning: Entertain yourself with the wealth earned by your own hard-work through righteous means.
