Sadhguru
What is the root of greed, and where can that longing go?
Greed is the longing to be more
Every human being is trying to touch something beyond what they are right now. On the mental level it gets labeled as greed, but if it finds a conscious expression, it is called yoga, which means union.
If it finds a mental expression, it gets labeled as greed, ambition, conquest, or simply shopping. It is something that is not you, and you are trying to make it yourself.
