इष्टान्भोगान्हि वो देवा दास्यन्ते यज्ञभाविताः। तैर्दत्तानप्रदायैभ्यो यो भुङ्क्ते स्तेन एव सः॥
ishtan bhogan hi vo deva dasyante yajna-bhavitah tair dattan apradayaibhyo yo bhunkte stena eva sah
Translation
The gods, nourished by sacrifice, will give you desired enjoyments. But whoever enjoys these gifts without offering to them in return is certainly a thief.
Commentary
Those who enjoy the gifts of nature without giving back through selfless service are essentially stealing. Every resource we use comes from the cosmic order, and we have an obligation to contribute back.
