Translation

Traducción

Learned scholars do not praise that charity which endangers one’s own livelihood. Charity, sacrifice, austerity and fruitive activities are possible for one who is competent to earn his livelihood properly. [They are not possible for one who cannot maintain himself.]

Los sabios eruditos no alaban la caridad que hace peligrar las propias posibilidades de subsistir. Los actos de caridad, sacrificio y austeridad, así como las actividades fruitivas, son posibles para quien puede ganarse su propio sustento. [Y no lo son para quien no puede mantenerse].
