[Book:PROUT in a Nutshell,Part 06:11]
Questions and answers by P. R. Sarkar
Question – What are the psychological defects of materialism?
Answer – The characteristic (Dharma) of the mind is to seek the
infinite. The mind attains this goal by concentratingon a particular
ideation. As material objects are finite, those who accept them as the
aim of life eventually feel frustrated. They fail to attain bliss
because neither wealth nor material objects can be enjoyed infinitely.
Moreover, those who make material objects their aim in life find their
self-interests in conflict with those of other people. They try to
deprive others, to protect their own endless greed for wealth and
material objects. There will have tobe a continuous pressure on the
minds of these people to keep them away from material objects. People
cannot tolerate such imposition and, on becoming disgruntled, take the
pathof revolution or counter-revolution against those who pressurize
them.
