The pilferingnature should be completely annihilated. One should be satisfiedwith what he gets through honest means. Besides actual i!-legal appropriation, taking away the property or things ofothers, the very thought of any such gain should not enter themind. Hoarding money is really theft. You should not keep anythingmore than the actual necessity. Eating more than what isreally necessary is also considered as theft.
