COVETOUSNESS

Swami Sivananda

Covetousness is greed or avariciousness. Inordinate desire of wealth is covetousness. All virtue, all honesty and peace run away from a man of covetousness. A covetous man is always poor and discontented. A covetous man is a fool. He is a miserable wretch. He lives in perpetual slavery, fear, suspicion, sorrow, and discontentment. He never enjoys life. A covetous man heaps up riches, not to enjoy, but merely to possess them. He starves himself in the midst of plenty. His sons squander his money quickly. Covetousness is the first vice in corrupt nature which moves and the last which dies. A covetous man acquires money by unjust or unlawful means. He leads a miserable life. His lot is pitiable and lamentable.


You are pure and bodiless. You have no mind. You are Brahman, the supreme Truth. Assert this. Realise this O Ram!

- Swami Sivananda
