परिग्गहनिविट्ठाणं वेरं तेसिं पवड्ढइ
Those who are engaged in increasing their wealth, they generate enmity against themselves only
They amass wealth doing hard work but do not know how to utilize the same. Looking at them, other persons become envious of them. They do not love the hoarder but hate him.
Conversely, one who is liberal, discreet, utilizes his riches i.e. donates for the welfare of public, all admire him, love him and heartily pray for his long life.
Wise men have advised to continue to use wealth liberally; otherwise being stingy, you will only increase enmity against yourself.
- Sutrakritanga Sutra 1/6/3
