-Sharngadharaapddhatih If you have wealth, it should be given away in charity or it should be enjoyed by yourself, but you should not hoard it. See how the honey collected by bees is taken away by others.
To keep away birds from his field, a farmer makes out of dry grass and sticks a form resembling a human being and that scare-crow kept in the field does not eat the grain nor does it allow others to eat the grain. A man who does not enjoy his wealth or does not give it away in charity is like that scare-crow. It has been said: यो न ददाति न भुङ्क्ते
सति विभवे नैव तस्य तद् द्रव्यम् । तृणमयकृत्रिमपुरूषो
___रक्षति सस्यं परस्यार्थे । Yona dadati na bhunkte
Sati vibhave naida tasya tad dravyam Trinamayakritrimapurūsho
Rakshati Sasyam Parasyārthe "If a man does not enjoy or give away his wealth then his wealth is not his though he is in possession of it. (He is not the real owner of that wealth.) Such a man (a miser) is like a human form made out of hay. He acts merely as a custodian safeguarding, the wealth that belongs to others”.
