सुभाषितरत्नसमुच्चय - दानोपभोगरहिता

दानोपभोगरहिता दिवसा यस्य यान्ति वै ।
स लोहकारभस्त्रेव श्वसन्नपि न जीवति ॥

- सुभाषितरत्नसमुच्चय

dAna upabhoga rahitA divasA yasya yaanti vai ।
sa lohakAra bhastreva shvasannapi na jIvati ॥

If a person neither gives his wealth away, nor enjoys it then his living is a big waste. He is only breathing just like the air sac of a blacksmith and not 'living'.
