Freedom from Greed!
Dec 3, 2005

One of the greatest cause of human misery is greed!

Greed is born in the human mind. The mind takes interest in pursuit of its desires, and is willing to tread dangerous paths.
 
It is clear that when an individual is free from ever increasing desires, when she/he realises that she does not need all that she/he desires, a way to contentment follows, and doubt disappears, faith strengthens, and this can happen when the mind is free from craving, desire-indulgence.

It is out of death of the mind, that true being is awakened, non-dual, eternal and all pervasive principle which is the cause of everything wonderful, and not the effect of anything.

Thank you James,
Greed and cravings of the mind are insatiable, and divert many individuals away from attaining their true being.
