Today's Subhashita.

अलोभः परमं वित्तं अहिंसा परमं तपः  |
अमाया परमा विद्या निरवद्या मनीषिणां ||

अर्थ -   लोभी न होना ही वास्तविक धन है और अहिंसा ही सर्वश्रेष्ठ तप  है |  माय मोह से दूर रहना ही  श्रेष्ठतम  विद्या है | इस प्रकार का आचारण कर के मनीषि और सज्जन व्यक्ति सदा दोष रहित  जीवनयापन करते हैं और समाज में आदर प्राप्त करते हैं | |

Alobhah paramam vittam ahimsaa paramam tapah.
Amaayaa paramaa vidyaa nirvadyaa maneeshinaam.

Alobha = contentment, not being greedy.    Paramam = highest, best.     Vittam = money, wealth.
Ahimsaa = non-violance.      Tapah = religious austerity.      Amaayaa = not having any illusions.
Nirvadyaa = blameless, excellent.      Maneeshinaam = learned and prudent persons.

i.e.    Being content with one's lot and not being greedy is the best form of wealth,  practising non-violence
is the best form of religious austerity, and not pursuing any illusions is the supreme knowledge.  By practising all these virtues learned and prudent persons lead a blameless and happy life.
