Greed does not mean only to "have". One is greedy, miserly and possessive even when one is not ready to part with something. It is not greed if one has what one really needs and uses. We should unburden ourselves so that sharing replaces greed. We cannot share unless we give up greed. A greedy man never shares.
Once a devotee gifted a suitcase full of costly Japanese cameras to Swami. Bhagawan ordered the suitcase to be opened in front of everybody and started distributing the cameras to all who were then present, including policemen, cooks and maidservants. Thus, all had the chance of receiving costly cameras. Would an ordinary person act in such a manner?
(From the book "Sai-chology" by Prof. K. Anil Kumar)
