Asteya

Asteya

अस्तेय, asteya 

Non-stealing — not only in action, but also in thoughts and desires. In other words, the freedom of the mind from base desires or inclination to appropriate any property of any being in any form. Pursuing profit in some improper way at the expense of others is seen as a form of theft. Such impulses must be eradicated.
