Gandhi's "Seven Blunders of the World" That Lead to Violence
The Seven Blunders of the World is a list that Mahatma Gandhi gave to his grandson Arun Gandhi, written on a piece of paper, on their final day together, not too long before his assassination. In his final years, the elder Gandhi kept his grandson close at hand and set aside an hour every day to be alone with the boy.

Wealth without work
Pleasure without conscience
Knowledge without character

Three eshanaas (ardent desires) are holding man back: he is enamored of wealth, wife and children. These obstruct him at each step and act as handicaps to spiritual advance. Of course, wherewithal is essential for the process of life and laboring for it cannot be avoided. But, beyond a limit, riches foul the mind and breed arrogance. They must be used for good purposes, promoting virtue and well-being, fostering Dharma (virtue) and fulfilling one's duties along the Divine path. If riches are spent for realizing fleeting desires, they can never be enough and the ego discovers newer and more heinous ways of earning and spending. It is indeed deplorable that this eshanaa (craving) for dhana (money) has laid hold of the people of this holy land, where Divine Incarnations have taught the lessons of selflessness and service.
