 Asteya and Aparigraha are two of several important virtues in Hinduism and Jainism.They both involve interaction between a person and material world, either as property, fame or ideas; yet Asteya and Aparigraha are different concepts.Asteya is the virtue of non-stealing and not wanting to appropriate, or take by force or deceit or exploitation, by deeds or words or thoughts, what is owned by and belongs to someone else.
