Why are you wonder-struck and stupefied at seeing the varied prosperity in this world? It is all the result of Karmas; and rise of merit degrades one who is attached to worldly pleasures.

Indras, gods, kings, paramount rulers and those possessing prowess, prosperity and beautyall are made up by their own Karma. Then, why should a wise man blindly attach himself to the fruits of Karma.

One should always introspect oneself whether one is [morally] elevated or degraded. The greedy persons interested in acquisition and loss of wealth, do not examine their character.
80
If you want to ward off misery, remove impurities of character. If you wish to be endowed with excellent happiness, keep your conduct always good.
