"There are 5 major weaknesses of a human personality, namely Krodh (Anger), Ma an (Pride), Ma y a (Illus ions ), Lobh (Greed) and Moh (Attachments). This issue is dedicated to understanding the basics of Greed. As per Dadashri, this is a weakness which is the first to manifest within us and the last to leave us. It is a sweet weakness. This means that we do not know about its existence. It appears to give us maximum happiness, but in turn, becomes the foundation for most of our unhappiness. Let us study what is Greed, the science of Greed and the ways to eliminate or reduce Greed… thus increasing our happiness. Greed means a strong desire to possess what rightfully belongs to others. It makes an individual selfish and self- centered. It takes a person away from his religious and social duties. A person can become blind with greed if an effort is not made to control the desire for unlimited possessions. Dadashri has explained in detail some more basic traits of human personalities. For example, Karkasar (thrift, frugality, economy), Lobhi (greedy), Lafo (spendthrift), Kanjoos (miser or stingy), Jhino (minuteness, subtlety; acuteness of intellect). Let us understand more about these traits and let us conceptualize how a perfect personality should be. Happy reading… - Dimple Mehta"
