Therefore, the soul on the right path is one's own friend and a soul on the wrong path is one's enemy. - Uttaradhayayan Sutra, 20-27 जहा लाभो तहा लोभो लाभा लोभो पवड्ढई । दोमासकयं कज्जं कोडीए वि न निटिठयं ।। - उत्तराध्ययन सूत्र, ८-१७ Where there is gain, there is greed: greed grows as one gains more.
