SN 3.19 Aputtaka Sutta - Heirless (1) Translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Like water in a haunted place that, without being imbibed, dries up: such is the wealth acquired by a worthless person who neither enjoys it himself nor gives.
But one enlightened & knowing, on acquiring wealth, enjoys it & performs his duties. He, a bull among men, having supported his kin, without blame goes to the land of heaven.

SN 3.19 Aputtaka Sutta - Heirless (1)
Translated from the Pali by
Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Like water
in a haunted place
that, without being imbibed,
dries up:
such is the wealth
acquired by a worthless person
who neither enjoys it himself nor gives.
But one enlightened & knowing,
on acquiring wealth,
enjoys it & performs his duties.
He, a bull among men,
having supported his kin,
without blame
goes to the land of heaven.
Brother ,thank you for your sharing.
it enhance the story and meaning.
