Manu Smriti on Pursuit of Material Wealth.

 

Quotes:

 

Chapter 2 verse 94

" Desire is never extinguished by enjoyment of desired

objects; it only

grows stronger like the fire fed with clarified

butter."

 

 

Verse 96

 

" Those organs which are strongly attached to sensual

pleasure cannot be

effectually restrained by abstinence from enjoyments

as by a constant

pursuit of true knowledge."

 

Verse 97

 

" Neither the study of the vedas nor liberality, nor

sacrifices, nor any

self-imposed restraint, nor austerities, even procure

the attainment of

rewards to a man whose heart is contaminated with

sensuality."

 

Verse 98

 

A brahmana who completely governs himself, though he

knows the savitri

only, is better than he knows the three vedas but does

not control

himself, eats all sorts of food, and sells all sorts

of goods.
