Chapter 16
Link:- In the next three verses the Lord gives a description of imagination of the people of demoniacal nature.
idamadya maya labdhamimam prapsye manoratham
idamastidamapi me bhavisyati punardhanam
(Saying) "this has been gained by me today, further that desire I shall fulfil; this wealth is already mine and that wealth, also shall be mine." 13
Comment:-
Idamadya maya labdhamimam prapsye manoratham:- The demoniac people, imagine out of greed, that they have gained so much of money and much more will they gain, by other means, fair or foul. They remain engrossed in such thoughts, that the marriage of their educated son, could bring them so much money; so much money will be saved by evading taxes, and so much money, will be received, through rent and interest.
Idamastidamapi me bhavityati punardhanam:- The more wealth, they hoard, the more greedy, they become. They always think, during their daily routine from early morning till late at night, only of means to amass hoards of wealth, and to lead a luxurious life.
But they forget, that they are growing old and one day, they will die a sad death, because they will die thinking of wealth, which they have accumulated and which they will have to leave behind and so wealth will cause, them grief.
