न तद्धनं येन न जायते सुरवं, न तत्सुख येन न तोपसम्भवः । न तोषणं तन्न यतो व्रतादरी व्रतं न सम्यक्त्वयुतं भवेन चेत् ॥५९।।
Meaning :- It is no wealth if wealth is not instrumental in begetting happiness even in the least degree. It is no happiness if it does not result in contentment or equanimity. It is no contentment if it does not lead one to procurement of self-restraint. And that self-restraint is bogus if it is not based on Right Vision. In other words, that is real wealth which brings happiness, that is real happiness which creates a sense of satisfaction. That is genuine contentment which guides one to selfrestraint quieting the mind. And lastly that is real selfcontrol the seed of which is the Right Vision. (59)
