DO NOT COVET |
|
Do not covet others' possessions. When you come to possess the things,
which you laboured illegitimately to obtain, you will find no true enjoyment therein, such
as you had desired. True enjoyment is possible only if the acquisition is lawful.
Greed is folly. It results only in misery equivalent to death. On the
other hand, it should be your pride not to be tempted to look with covetous eyes on other
people's possessions. Cultivate this indifference. It will give you a sense of triumph.
Greed defeats its own purpose. Contentment leads to victory of the spirit. |
