APARIGRAHA
Was I non-acquisitive or non-possessive?
in thought?
in word?
in action?
Did I encourage or appreciate acquisition and possesssiveness
in others?
Do I have possessive attachments to people or things? Do I have things around that I am not using-Am I collecting
or hoarding?
Did I buy something today that I don't need?
