The path to spiritual enhancement
41
When the empathy towards one's fellow beings awakens, then inertia will disappear. As long as there is greed and loot in the world, the soul of humanity becomes dulled and sullied. The tendency of possessiveness ruins lives. Hence, do not ruin your lives by chasing possessions, do not confuse your desires for needs. He who adopts the Jaina ideal of icchā parimāņa or parigraha parimāņa finds the pathway to infinite joy.
