संघो ददाति सामर्थ्य सामर्थ्यात सर्वयोग्यता।
योग्यत्वाद यः समुत्कर्षो निरपायः स सर्वथा।।

saṃgho dadāti sāmarthya sāmarthyāta sarvayogyatā।
yogyatvāda yaḥ samutkarṣo nirapāyaḥ sa sarvathā।।

Sangha provides the ability; through the ability one gets all the merit; the growth by means of merit is always harmless.
