Aṅguttara Nikāya — Discursos Numerados — 4.66 — Greedy

1“Mendicants, these four individuals are found in the world. What four? The greedy, the hateful, the delusional, and the conceited.

2These are the four individuals found in the world.

3Full of desire for desirable things,
enjoying things that seem pleasant,
beings veiled by delusion
only tighten their bonds.

4Born of greed, born of hate,
born of delusion: the ignorant
do unskillful deeds
that afflict and produce pain.

5If you act out of these qualities, <j>that’s what you become.
But men shrouded by ignorance,
are blind, with no eyes to see,
and they never imagine that this could be so.”
