Today's Subhashita.


लोभ मूलानि पापानि संकटानि तथैव  च |
लोभात्प्रवर्तते वैरं अतिलोभात्विनश्यति ||

अर्थ -  लोभ सभी पापों का तथा विभिन्न संकटों मूल कारण है |  लोभ से वैर उत्पन्न होता है और अत्यन्त लोभ से व्यक्तियों का  विनाश भी हो जाता है |  

Lobh = greed.      Moolaani = root (cause).     Paapaani = sins, crimes      Samkataani = dangers, crisis-es.
Tathaiva = similarly, likewise.   Cha = also.    Lobhaatpravartate = Lobhaat +pravartate. 
Lobhaat = because of greed.      Pravartate = originates, results in.     Vairam = enmity, revenge.
Atilobhaatvinashyati = Ati + lobhaat + vinishyati.     Ati = excessive.   Vinashyati = perishes, gets destroyed.

i.e.         Greed is the root cause of all crimes and sins, as also of dangers of various kinds.    Greed in a person also results  in his enmity with others and excessive greed results in total destruction of such a person.
