While maintenance of the body is necessary, the hoarding of resources—known as atyahara—binds the living entity to the material concept of life, increasing attachment to home, family, and social prestige. This analysis explores how the unchecked desire for economic development leads to a "soul-killing" civilization where peace is impossible, and how a devotee of Kṛṣṇa transforms this tendency by utilizing resources solely for the service of the Lord.
