Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 38


Sanskrit:

वित्तैषणां यज्ञदानैर्गृहैर्दारसुतैषणाम् ।आत्मलोकैषणां देव कालेन विसृजेद्ब‍ुध: ।ग्रामे त्यक्तैषणा: सर्वे ययुर्धीरास्तपोवनम् ॥ ३८ ॥

ITRANS:

vittaiṣaṇāṁ yajña-dānairgṛhair dāra-sutaiṣaṇāmātma-lokaiṣaṇāṁ devakālena visṛjed budhaḥgrāme tyaktaiṣaṇāḥ sarveyayur dhīrās tapo-vanam

Translation:

An intelligent person should learn to renounce his desire for wealth by performing sacrifices and acts of charity. He should learn to renounce his desire for wife and children by experiencing family life. And he should learn to renounce his desire for promotion to a higher planet in his next life, O saintly Vasudeva, by studying the effects of time. Self-controlled sages who have thus renounced their attachment to household life go to the forest to perform austerities.
