       Its true mining is this - that you should not wish for another's wealth which is not mine is also not yours. The scope for desire exists only when since it can be your sit can be mine also’ otherwise the desire has no grounds to stand on. Ethical people have explained it that even to think of another's wealth is sinful; but since it cannot be mine, how can it be another's? No expert of ethics can feet the real meaning of this sutra, It is subtle and deep.
