- Literally
- The saintly person does not eat or spend, the thief takes it all; like the honey bee, one regrets it when they meet.
- What it means
- Hoarding wealth without using it only benefits those who steal it.
Also said as
- ખાય ન ખરચે સાધુ જન, ચોર સકલ લે જાય;
- જયસે મધુ મક્ષિકા, હાથ મીલા પસતાય.
