Greed (Gujarati Dadavani September-2000)

Ignorance of one's true self is the main cause of worldly entanglements which then leads to attachment-abhorrence in worldly life. Deceit and greed are forms of attachment whereas anger and pride are forms of abhorrence. After attaining Knowledge of the Self, ignorance leaves. What remains then, is to empty the stock of anger-pride-deceit-greed. The sooner one knows them and stays in its opposition, they tend to leave. In anger-pride-deceit-greed, greed sets in first & leaves at last. It is a hidden & deceitful fault. Only the ones who have freed themselves from all these can show others the path to get free from them. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan had clearly said that tuber of greed is broken either when one suffers immense loss or when one spends money for strangers or donates it in temple of Lord Simandhar Swami.This edition of Dadavani throws light on the form of tuber of greed; its causes, symptoms, consequences & also helpful solutions to get rid of the tuber of greed.
