Aparigraha
Non Possessiveness
Mahävirswämi said
parigraha geve attai karanti prananam behanam -Uttaradhyayan Sutra Meaning, because of our possessiveness, we kill other lives. Our greed, our possessiveness is the primary cause of all violence. In fact, true non-violence cannot be achieved without Non-possessiveness. Even Anekänatväd is not posible without Aparigraha. Attitudinal non-attachment is Anekäntaväd (non-absolutism)
Possessiveness is a reaction to the fear of losing something or someone. Insecurity within leads to possessiveness outside.
