Lobha (Greed): The Hunger That Never Ends

Greed is desire multiplied. It convinces us that accumulation equals safety. But greed has no finish line. Bhaja Govindam: Time Passes, Greed Remains Sanskrit Verse दिनयामिन्यौ सायं प्रातः शिशिरवसन्तौ पुनरायातः। Days and nights, evenings and mornings, seasons come and go again. Commentary Everything moves, everything changes. Only greed insists: "More." Shankara asks: when will you awaken from this endless cycle? --- Kabir on Greed Hindi लोभ बुरी बला है, सबको खाए। Greed is a terrible affliction that devours all. --- Vemana on Wealth Telugu ధనము మూలమై దుఃఖము జనుచున్నది. Wealth becomes the root of suffering when greed rules. Commentary Wealth is not evil. Attachment is. Greed makes even abundance feel like poverty.
