Radhe krishna, Good morning & have a blessed day, THIEVES Asteya is non-stealing. This is one of the five limbs of yama (self-restraint). This is also another form of self-restraint. Why does a man steal? He wants something. When he cannot get it by legitimate ways of earning, he begins to steal things. Desire (trishna) or want is the root cause for stealing. This is a deep-rooted, evil trait in man. Control desires (trishna) and cravings. Reduce your wants. Reflect and do vicara. Think of the evil result of stealing, killing of conscience, dishonor, pin-pricks, guilty conscience,unfitness for yoga, bad name in society, punishment through the law of karma and penal code. Think of the advantages of non-theft (asteya) - honour, clean conscience, reward in heaven, fitness for the practice of yoga. You will at once stop this stealing habit. Man removes a thing secretly without the knowledge of the owner; he does not like that his act may be known by others. This is stealing. Taking blotting paper, pins, paper, pencil, etc., from the office is stealing. Hoarding money too much is stealing. Eating too much or gluttony is stealing. swami sivananda The attainment of the infinite life is the purpose of finite life. - Swami Sivananda Beloved friends in the Spirit, beloved children of the Divine, spiritual life and spiritual practice is the most pressing, urgent and indispensable need of humanity today.The disease of un-spirituality is so great that this spiritual life, spiritual practice, is the one specific and the prime need of mankind today. swami chidananda Chant the Maha Mantra Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare BE HAPPY
