LEARN WHAT ENOUGH' IS
If we visualize the body and the mind that we have received and compare the two, we will find an amazing difference between them. From the body, arise needs and from the mind, flow desires.
The needs are like the roof of the house, which has an end. Desires are elements having the vastness and limitlessness of the sky; Unlimited, immeasurable and never-ending. On one end of necessity is production and on the other end is contentment. On both the ends of desires is production only.
You can meet the hunger for food of all the human beings on this planet, but you cannot satisfy the mental hunger of even one person. To clothe all the human beings of this world, cloth from India alone would suffice; but the material required for covering a man's mind will always be less. However expensive or favourite a food item is, at one stage the hunger will be fully satisfied. However much you give to the mind, it's craving will always be one step ahead. Satisfaction is the characterization (definition) of the body, and discontentment is that of the mind.
Where the body is satisfied, the mind has merely done a sample testing. The body gets tired and hence takes a break. The mind never gets tired and hence does not talk about taking any break. The needs of the body are so few that they can be met even by begging, but the hunger of the mind cannot be fulfilled by looting also.
