Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

Once upon a time there was a tree in the forest which had thin, pointed leaves. It felt sad when it saw the large, green leaves of the other trees swaying and rustling in the wind. "How unlucky I am!" it moaned. "If only God gave me leaves of gold, I could stand proud among my neighbours and shine with dazzling brilliance in the sun." The next morning the tree stood transformed. It had leaves of gold. It looked around at the other trees and saw how envious they were. But when night fell, a greedy man crept close to the tree and plucked all the golden leaves, put them into a sack and stole away. "Oh, how unlucky I am", the tree lamented again. "But perhaps I can have leaves made of glass. They will shine brighter than gold and no one will steal them." The next morning the tree was again transformed. When the rays of the sun fell on the tree, they were reflected in all directions. The tree felt proud of its leaves. But that night there was thunder and lightning, and the wind blew violently and shook the tree. All its glass leaves were broken. "Bad luck, again", sighed the tree. "Let me have beautiful green leaves like the other trees, but let mine be perfumed." This wish was granted too, and the next day the whole forest was filled with sweet smell of its leaves. But within a few hours, goats from all around the forest gathered, drawn by the pleasant smell, and nibbled at the leaves until not a trace of green was left on the tree. "How foolish I have been", said the tree sadly. "My own leaves are best for me, not any other. I've learnt my lesson." The next day the tree stood covered once again with thin, pointed leaves. It felt as proud of its own leaves as the other trees felt of theirs.

‘फल’ - हमें फल की चिंता नहीं करनी चाहिए।

लोभ चाहे जिस वस्तु का हो जब वह बहुत बढ़ जाता है तब उस वस्तु की प्राप्ति, सानिध्य या उपभोग से जी नहीं भरता। मनुष्य चाहता है कि वह बार-बार मिले या बराबर मिलता रहे। धन का लोभ जब रोग होकर चित्त में घर कर लेता है, तब प्राप्ति होने पर भी और प्राप्ति की इच्छा बराबर बनी रहती है। जिससे मनुष्य सदा आतुर और प्राप्ति के आनंद से विमुख रहता है। जितना नहीं है उतने के पीछे जितना है उतने से प्रसन्न होने का उसे कभी अवसर ही नहीं मिलता। उसका सारा अंतःकरण सदा अभावमय रहता है। उसके लिए जो है वह भी नहीं है। असंतोष अभाव-कल्पना से उत्पन्न दुख है, अतः जिस किसी में यह अभाव-कल्पना स्वाभाविक हो जाती है सुख से उसका नाता सब दिन के लिए टूट जाता है। न किसी को देखकर वह प्रसन्न होता है और न उसे देख कर कोई प्रसन्न होता है। इसी से संतोष सात्विक जीवन का अंग बताया गया है।
