"And men with false reputation of learning will, by their acts, cause Truth to be contracted and concealed. And in consequence of the shortness of their lives they will not be able to acquire much knowledge. And in consequence of the littleness of their knowledge, they will have no wisdom. And for this, covetousness and avarice will overwhelm them all." - Muni Markendeya Addressiong the court of the Pandavas in the Mahabharata (Section CLXXXIX)
