datavyam bhoktavyam sati vibhave sanchayo na kartavyah
pashyeha madhukareenam sanchitam artham haranty-anye
दातव्यं भोक्तव्यं सति विभवे सञ्चयो न कर्तव्यः ।
पश्येह मधुकरीणां सञ्चितमर्थं हरन्त्यन्ये ॥
When you have wealth, give it and enjoy it; do not just hoard it. Look at the honeybees — what they store up, others carry away.
What it means
Saving is wise, but hoarding for its own sake misses the point of money. Use it to live well and to help others while you can. Wealth that is only piled up often ends up in someone else's hands.हिंदी में अर्थ
धन हो तो उसे दान कीजिए और भोगिए, केवल संचय मत कीजिए। मधुमक्खियों को देखिए — उनका जमा किया शहद दूसरे ले जाते हैं।
बचत समझदारी है, पर केवल जमा करते जाना धन के उद्देश्य को खो देना है। जब तक हो सके, उसका सही उपयोग और दूसरों की मदद कीजिए। केवल जमा धन अक्सर दूसरों के हाथ चला जाता है।
