Swami Mukundananda

Why does greed keep growing even after I get what I wanted?

Fulfilled desire feeds greed

Where there is attachment, desire arises again and again, and a fulfilled desire comes back with redoubled intensity. In other words, fulfilling desire leads to greed.

If a desire is fulfilled, it does not go away or get extinguished. It comes back with doubled intensity. In other words, fulfilling desire leads to greed.
