[QUOTE="ballym, post: 123877, member: 2772"] Disagree. When survival issue comes, one eats whatever is available and desire part is absent. maya is delusion... not just lust. i am not sure if lust = delusion. Competitive spirit guides one to accumulate wealth... by hook or crook. the wealth acquired by wrongful means is not acceptable in sikhi.... By doing work/ kirat... you can accumulate wealth. When you see someone needing your wealth, you must help.... but do not give more than required. If you give dasvandh to a person who is going to misuse it then you should not give it. So, Sikhi says that wealth must be redistributed but not to make someone lazy. he has to do kirat. By feeding an able bodied person, we are committing sin. The question about "force' ... may lie in natural lust as initial motivator. Thereafter it becomes self-perpetuating. Quite often , a person is still not satisfied, comes under Maya influence and keep seeking more wealth by unfair means because that self-perpetuation is lost due to natural competitive forces. What is the motivation for Bill gates to earn now? his wealth generation is self -perpetuating. Is he going to fight monopolistic rule/judgement against MicroSOFT even when he comes to know that he is going to loose. Is he going to bribe that judge? No. What means do you employ to get the wealth.... it is important. Every businessman/ salesman lies to certain extent. For eample, a life insurance sales-person lies... at least in the beginning. After he get about 50 clients and his income becomes stable, most will reduce lying frequency and level. If you continue at same level... you are under Maya. Many person take Life agent licence but soon discontinue because they feel uncomfortable. It is not that they do not have skills or knowledge but they do not want to lie to someone for their own survival. This argument also apply when we say that a particular person is business minded. He is focussed about his own income even if he has to wrongfully promote his/her product. A milk man adding water may justify it because he will loose entire business ifhe does not ( atleast he thinks so). He even bring two three levels of milk with 10% , 20% and zero % water mixing. To maximise his profit by satisfying market needs!!! But if he adds fertiliser/ urea to MAKE milk and sell it... that is lust. So basic survival need forces you to lie. survival forces you to eat anything even if you like it or not. What constitues survival line? How much is needed to survive? It is guided by societal norms and keep changing. ( that is why religion must be changing.... another topic :happy:) So accumulating wealth by kirat is allowed always .Share it with real needy. It is not communism style. [/QUOTE]
