Starvation, sustenance, satiation, excess

The four classes of material wealth are starvation, sustenance, satiation, excess. 

• Starvation exhausts the ability of the being to sustain itself materially; 
• sustenance exhausts the ability of the being to sustain itself non-materially; 
• satiation is the optimum point where the being is able to sustain itself both materially and non-materially; 
• excess mirrors sustenance in that it sustains the material existence but it corrodes the non-material existence.  

Both luxury and impoverishment are bad for the soul; starvation, of course, is like enslavement and is bad for body and soul; satiation, sova, is that golden mean where material and non-material possibilities can be exploited and fulfilled fully.
