wealth is mine, and that will be mine too. I have destroyed my enemies. I
shall destroy others too! Am I not like God? I enjoy what I want. I am
successful. I am powerful. I am happy. I am rich and well-born. Who is
equal to me? I will perform sacrifices and give gifts, and rejoice in my
own generosity." This is how they go on, deluded by ignorance. Bound by
their greed and entangled in a web of delusion, whirled about by a
fragmented mind, they fall into a dark hell. Self-important, obstinate,
swept away by the pride of wealth, they ostentatiously perform sacrifices
without any regard for their purpose. Egotistical, violent, arrogant,
lustful, angry, envious of everyone, they abuse my presence within their
own bodies and in the bodies of others." | |
