Dadashri: No, there is a big difference between the two. Greedy means greedy and intensely greedy lalachoo means intensely greedy lalachoo and covetous. A greedy person has awareness but a person with intense greed lalacha and avarice moves about without any care and awareness of what is beneficial or hurtful to him bebhaan; he is constantly hurting himself.
Questioner: Does he realize he is harming himself?
Dadashri: No, he does not. He is not aware of it at all.
That is why a person with greed lobh can be free some day. What kind of people become free first? Those with pride maan i.e. those who seek importance and those with anger. These people are naïve and easily deceived. Others can see their shortcomings and will point them out, however greed lobh cannot be seen. The one with greed cannot see his own greed. His greed is so deep that he cannot see it himself. Greed can be so deep that even the owner cannot see it. 'We have to point it out to him!
Questioner: Greed will not go away, is it because it is so deep?
Dadashri: Yes, it will not go away that easily, it will work one to death. Nevertheless, a greedy person has some principles. A person with avarice or intense greed lalacha on the other hand has no principles. A person with intense greed lalacha will not abide by or practice the Gnani's Agnas at all. He would not be able to do so even if he wants to.
Questioner: But what if he, the lalachoo has good inner intent and feelings for the Gnani Purush?
Dadashri: He would not be able to attain anything even he has the intent. So a greedy person can be freed but not the one with avarice and intense greed lalacha.
After this Gnan, some greed remains somewhat alive whereas the intense greed lalacha is totally alive. But the greedy person has a 'safeside' ( liberation will happen sometime in future) whereas the person with the intense greed lalacha does not have a 'safeside'. I have seen this in many places.
