Greed Quote by Jeremy Limn
“There is more to life than wanting money. Money consumes your insides out with greed. Money is poison, the only reason you need it is to buy food. Money doesn't buy you a heart. You will die either way, and money will not extend your life any longer. I used to want money, but now I understand money has never done anything but make me greedy and want more then I can have. I taught myself to be humble, spent months living from pay cheque to pay cheque. Some days I didn't have any food, but I had friends to talk to which made the experience less hurtful. This year has been the hardest of my life. I had to scrape just to get through the week. But I also realise one day all that I see will be gone. I used to want all the money in the world, I learnt that money does not make you happy. So I do what makes me happy nowadays.”

![“Where there are kashays (anger-pride-deceit-greed), there is worldly life. As long as anger-pride-deceit-greed exist; one is a sansaari [living a worldly life] regardless of whether one is an ascetic or a family man. And where anger-pride-deceit-greed are absent, one is regarded as being asansaari…” quote by Dada Bhagwan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/7ec/dada-bhagwan-31_anger_where-there-are-kashays-anger-pride-dece_5756.jpg)
