द्वाबम्भसि निवेस्टव्यौ गले बद्ध्वा दृढां शिलां धनवन्तम् अदातारम् दरिद्रं च अतपस्विनम्

द्वाबम्भसि निवेस्टव्यौ गले बद्ध्वा दृढां शिलां
धनवन्तम् अदातारम् दरिद्रं च अतपस्विनम्

There are two kinds of people that deserve to be pushed into deep seas with a heavy stone tied to them - the wealthy who do not do charity, and the poor who do not work hard.

Another beautiful verse from the ocean of sanskrit वाङ्ग्मय that tells us if we pity on others or not... If yes at all, on what sort people. Are there people in specific, on no pity should be made at all ? Do some not deserve generosity, love and other types of heavenly treatment ? Cruelty is sometimes given preference over human virtues. We will see two types of people here those have been pinpointedly earmarked for unkind treatment.

The criterion taken to find out such type of people from this vast ocean of world is the sensitiveness towards wealth.

Wealth has been defined as a material possession which we can spend/enjoy or give. Ownership on a thing is determined by one's capacity to give it to somebody... Transfer its ownership or spend it for his own enjoyment. If you are unable to do any of the act, you are not the owner of the wealth accumulated. All of us are engaged in earning wealth because we need for bare necessities in life. We will see we devide ourselves into two types.
First, people who have earned a lot of money. The second, people who don't earn money in some or the other pretext. Wealthy and poor.

Wealthy people are of two types. People who earn money and justify their ownership by spending for themselves and others in the form of generous activities. They never believe in saving it to an extent they can't use it in their lifetime and see others starve. Some other people know only to earn and never spend it out of excess greed. They find happiness in seeing the wealth piled up.

Another type of of people are cursed to be deprived of wealth. One section of them work their level best to earn,  but fail inspiration of their labour and constant effort, as if they are cursed. They spend their entire life in penury but never beg other's help. Self respect is not compromised at any cost. The other kind of poor people choose themselves to be in that condition out of lazyness and lethargy. They prefer to sit idle irrespective of their poverty and low economic condition. They are a versed to hard work and positive endeavour. They prefer to beg than work for any respectful livelihood.

Here, this verse says harshly  on the wealthy people who don't utilise their wealth for themselves or give it to others benevolently and the poor section of the society who don't try to earn anything preferring the easy way to beg. These people are so hateful and useless that they may be thrown into the sea with heavy stones tied to their throat as if they are the blackest spot on the society.

Now, it is time friends for your judicious comment. Thanks.
