________________ OF CONTENT As ye get, so ye want ; want increaseth with every gain. Ye needed two pieces of gold but now millions satiate ye not. Possession of numberless mountains of gold and silver satiates not him who wanteth. Want is as endless as Space. Know that this earth with its rice and barley, with its gold and cattle, all put together, will not satisfy a single man. Therefore, practise content. Better is he who restraineth his self, though giveth no alms, than he who giveth thousands and thousands of cows every month but restraineth not his self. Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Suratwww.umaragyanbhandar.com
