Aparigraha(non-greed)

1.5 Aparigraha(non-greed)

Aparigrahsthairye janmakathntasanbodhah I (29,2 Yogsutra)

When non-receiving becomes stable or fixed feel meaning of birth and life.

Aparigrah means to accumulate more money wealth, possessions than one’s needs. The accumulation of more wealth than required results in ego . There is imbalance in nature. Hence follower of yoga should use the minimum things.
In the universe whatever is seen is created by God. Hence, while consuming anything, do it with feeling of surrender treat it, it belongs to God. Never get engrossed in this. Because the whole wealth belongs to whom? Nobody, It is owned by God only.

In this way Aparigraha gives us teaching of universal values like RESPECT, HAPPINESS, SIMPLICITY, PEACE AND SO ON…..
