Rejecting greed with non-greed, an aspirant uses not the available objects of interest
Question is how to pacify greed? How to win over this? Answer is – with moderation or contentment. Contentment is opposite of greed. Contentment provides peace; but greed gives birth to restlessness. Still, people continue to be after greed and remain restless. Against this, those aspirants who have conquered greed do not even take interest in the objects of interest available to them, what to talk about those which are not available? Hence, it is said – if you want peace, refrain from greed.
