"I have gained this today; I will fulfill this desire of mine; this is mine, and this wealth will be mine in the future."

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: this I have gained today, this desire I shall obtain, this wealth is mine, and this too shall be mine hereafter, describing the specific, running internal monologue of someone caught in this pattern of accumulation and craving.

In life: this exact kind of running internal monologue, cataloguing acquisitions and future acquisitions, is a genuinely recognizable pattern worth noticing in your own mind, not just an abstract description of someone else's flaw.

Teaching: notice the next time your own internal monologue starts running this exact pattern, cataloguing what you've gained and what you still want to gain, and treat that noticing as useful information about where your attention has currently drifted.

Deep Classical Commentary (Bhashya)

Author:
16.13 इदम् this? अद्य today? मया by me? लब्धम् has been gained? इमम् this? प्राप्स्ये (I) shall obtain? मनोरथम् desire? इदम् this? अस्ति is? इदम् this? अपि also? मे to me? भविष्यति shall be? पुनः again? धनम् wealth.Commentary I will be able to acire all that the world possesses. Then I will be the lord of all wealth. No one will be eal to me on the surface of this earth.In future Next year this wealth also shall be mine. I will be known to the world as a man of immense wealth. People will address me as my lord.These demons (who think like this) become selfconceited on account of their wealth. Their heads are swollen with pride. They regard everyone else as worthless as straw. Pride of wealth destroyes their power of discrimination. They strive for happiness but they never obtain it. They are entangled in the meshes of Maya. They are wedded to sin and misry here and hereafter.
