99.9999% of them are greedy and want more and more. They avoid taxes
very cleverly even if they are rich. They are in a mad race to get
richer and richer all the time. The material desires are never ending.
How can they get Mumukshutva?

bygone history & mythological characters, they are all kings (rich) but
they are religious & mahAjnAni-s as well...I think, even in current
