Subhashitas Subhashita 295 meaning

danopabhogavandhya ya suhridbhir ya na bhujyate punsam yadi hi sa lakshmeer alakshmeeh katama bhavet
दानोपभोगवन्ध्या या सुहृद्भिर्या न भुज्यते । पुंसां यदि हि सा लक्ष्मीरलक्ष्मीः कतमा भवेत् ॥

Wealth that is neither given away nor enjoyed, and not shared with friends — if that counts as wealth, what then is poverty?

What it means
A bank balance that never turns into kindness, joy or shared meals is hardly better than having nothing. Wealth becomes real when it touches lives — yours and others'.

हिंदी में अर्थ

जो धन न दान में लगे, न भोग में, न मित्रों के साथ बाँटा जाए — यदि वह धन है, तो फिर दरिद्रता क्या है?

जो बैंक बैलेंस कभी भलाई, आनंद या साथ के भोजन में न बदले, वह न होने से बहुत अलग नहीं। धन तभी सच्चा है जब वह जीवनों को छुए — अपने और दूसरों के।
