परिग्रह में आसक्त पुरुष आदानीय-सत्य मार्ग को प्राप्त करके भी उस स्थान में ठहर नहीं पाता। अपनी मूढ़ता के कारण वह वितथ-असत्य मार्ग को प्राप्त कर उसी में ठहर जाता है। AVARICE ADDS TO MISERY
80. One who is attached to possessions, employs men and animals and forces them to do his work. Then he starts acquiring wealth. With three types of efforts (by himself, by others and by both or his wealth combined with skill and labour of others) he hoards meager or enormous wealth.
He is obsessed with that wealth and protects it for enjoyments.
With the large wealth saved after his enjoyments, he becomes enormously rich and with much belongings.
A time comes when his son-in-law, sons and grandsons take away shares of that collected wealth, thieves steal, or kings confiscate it. Or it is lost or destroyed. Or it turns to ashes if the his catches fire.
Thus indulging in cruel deeds for others, that ignorant, in fact, creates miseries for himself. In the end he gets the opposite (striving for pleasure he, in the end, gets pain) and is stupefied by grief.
Bhagavan has revealed this truth
(He who does cruel deeds is an ignorant. An ignorant, in his search for pleasure, gets miseries time and again.)
These ignorant are not capable of swimming (in the current of life). (They are not capable of getting initiated.)
They are not capable of reaching the bank (shedding the karma causing fondness).
They are not capable of crossing (the ocean of life to get liberated). आचारांग सूत्र
