Difference between the good and the wicked: Sanskrit Wisdom - 5

Vidhyaa vivaadaaya danam madaaya shaktih pareshaam paripeeDhanaaya |
Khalasyah saadhoh vipareetam etad jnaanaaya daanaaya cha rakshaNaaya ||

Explanation
A wicked person uses knowledge for the sake of argument, his wealth renders him egotistic and his energy is wasted merely to torment others. 

The opposite is true of a saintly person. His knowledge is used for good purposes, his wealth is used to donate to others and his might is used to protect the weak.
