6. Wealth cannot protect an imprudent person in this birth
and the next. Just as an extinguished lamp cannot light the path so also a person who is deluded cannot tread the right path.
- Utta. Sū. 4.5
7. Ignorant persons who earn money through evil deeds, fall
ing into the snares of their passions and subject themselves to the resentment of others, leave all the wealth here and go to hell.
- Utta. Sū. 4.2
8. An imprudent person engrossed in violence does not un
derstand that the life is perishable and being attached with worldly objects dare to commit the sin. He toils day and night. That rash and foolish one takes for granted himself as imperishable and tries to earn more and more wealth.
- Sū. Kr. Sū. 1.10.18
9. Knowing that wealth is the cause of misery, the fetter of
egoism and the source of many dangers, one should establish himself in Dharma which is gratifying, unequalled, unsurpassed and which generates those qualities which yield the fruit of emancipation.
- Utta. Sū. 19.99
