There is a lot of covetousness in todays world. People wanting other peoples country, their wealth, their property, and their elections. It has led to war and it is a source of contention between people.
Firmness of moral courage can be obtained by the culture of yama, the religious forbearances: abstention from cruelty, dishonesty, covetousness, and unnatural living and unnecessary possessions and of Niyama the religious observances; purity in the mind and body, cleaning the body externally and internally from all foreign matters which being fermented create different sorts of diseases in the system and clear the mind from all prejudices and dogmas, that make one narrow - contentment in all circumstances and obedience to the holy precepts of the divine personages~ Sri Yukteswar
