The Dynamics Of Greed

*Deficiencies inside us bring about a spiritual void or the lack of
wholeness (fullness).* As we lay the foundation of our lives on deficiencies
or weaknesses, the result is suffering, sorrow and peacelessness. If we act
in harmony with spiritual virtues and qualities, the result is cooperation,
happiness, peace, contentment and finally, wholeness.

*A spiritual void leads to selfishness and causes the creation of greed
inside us.* We want to have more and possess more, which generates a state
of expectation and stress. We fill our lives with things and objects to
cover up deeper deficiencies. Then we are afraid of losing them. We generate
expectations of all kinds, and when they are not fulfilled we react with
anger, frustration, fear or disappointment. The inner emptiness makes us
become greedy. We fill ourselves with objects, properties, things. *We take
and consume more than what we can give to the Universe in the form of
positive thoughts, feelings, vibrations, actions etc. and this brings about
imbalances in the self, in relation to others and with nature.*
Something similar happens on a physical level. The body has a capacity to
recycle and eliminate waste through different mediums. However, since we
consume more toxins than the body can process, it leads to imbalance and we
are more prone to feeling physically ill and unfit and developing diseases
etc.
