It's said that desire for gains as intention for one undertakings, beyond simply that for liberation from suffering, is a huge hindrance, obstacle. No, the Buddha also warned even Arahats, at least in regard of the accumulation of sakkara (honor, amassing honor, [Labāsakkara](http://zugangzureinsicht.org/html/tipitaka/sn/sn17/sn17.005.than_en.html)) , as being a cause that leads to unease. Now, what could, should one do, should avoid, that all kinds of such accumulations do not take place and do not endanger ones intention, aspiration, to bend from highest path and fruits, awakening? Which role does maccharia (stinginess of five kinds and one primare cause) plays here, and if related, what kind of practice would work against such? *(Note that this task is not given for trade, exchange, stacks or entertainments but just to bind toward liberation)*
