The Master Said:

 

" A householder has his duties to discharge,

his debts to pay: his debt to the gods,

his debt to his ancestors, his debt to the rishis,

and his debt to his wife and children.

If a wife is chaste, then her husband should support her;

he should also bring up their children until they are of age.

Only a monk must not save; the bird and the monk do not provide

for the morrow. But even a bird provides when it has young.

It brings food in its bill for the chicks. "
