Thirukkural On Virtue-Avoidance of Fraud-Kural-285

Those who lie in wait for an off-chance to appropriate other's possessions,Will never widen such love as they have into a living compassion.

The implication here is that those, who are just waiting for an opportunity to appropriate other people's possessions can never progress along the path of righteousness and to the ultimate attainment of Heaven.

This is a standing condemnation, in prospect, of the blackmarketeers, economic offenders and white collar criminals of today's society, by Valluvar.
