To desire to posses material things is un-quenching thirst.  This should really be a self-evident truth because that which desires (the mind) is of another nature than the objects of desire (temporal things).  The desire for material things is so often an attempt to replace God in that they are usually attempting to pacify our neurosis which comes from not knowing the Spirit.  Without God in our minds we are deluded to think we must protect ourselves, we must provide for any situation and catastrophe, we must define ourselves in the community by displaying things which give us ‘good standing’, etc.  With the knowledge of God, and spiritual consciousness comes the direct proof that we Are, that God provides, that we are eternal, that we have good standing with God and that that exceeds the any other recognition one may have needed.
To think that one can own something, or that someone owes one something is the greater delusion.  All things are given and taken by the flow of the Energies of God.  A business man may think himself wise and thrifty and therefore believes himself rich, but his mind and talent and circumstances and perseverance -- all has been given him by God, he is merely a custodian, and all can be taken away in the blink of an eye.
Once the Truth is realised all these false notions which bring so much hardship simply passes away.
