Asteya is a Sanskrit word meaning "avoidance of stealing" or "non-stealing"
In yoga we are taught that when we no longer desire something it will come to us by itself. This is also the case for asteya. Since the root cause of taking what doesn't belong to you is desire, when you give up desire for things, all sorts of wealth will come to you by itself. To master this yama we should try to curb our desires little by little through the regular practice of yoga, and eventually the mind and our actions will come more under our control.
