The only proper fruit of acquired wealth is religiosity, on the basis of which one can acquire a philosophical understanding of life that eventually matures into direct perception of the Absolute Truth and thus liberation from all suffering. Materialistic persons, however, utilize their wealth simply for the advancement of their family situation. They fail to see that insurmountable death will soon destroy the frail material body.
Srimad Bhagavata Purana
श्रीमद्भागवतमहापुराणम्
मूल श्लोकः
धनं च धर्मैकफलं यतो वै ज्ञानं सविज्ञानमनुप्रशान्ति । गृहेषु युञ्जन्ति कलेवरस्य मृत्युं न पश्यन्ति दुरन्तवीर्यम्
dhanaṃ ca dharmaikaphalaṃ yato vai jñānaṃ savijñānamanupraśānti | gṛheṣu yuñjanti kalevarasya mṛtyuṃ na paśyanti durantavīryam
