Of course, if one resists far away from the possibility to give into more Sublime, such does not mean "he/she does not give to brahmans & contemplatives". In how far such is a valid reasoning for one, one has to prove by oneself honest, if wishing no disadvantages from certain habits.
"I tell you, Vaccha, even if a person throws the rinsings of a bowl or a cup into a village pool or pond, thinking, 'May whatever animals live here feed on this,' that would be a source of merit, to say nothing of what is given to human beings. But I do say that what is given to a virtuous person is of great fruit, and not so much what is given to an unvirtuous person. And the virtuous person has abandoned five factors and is endowed with five. (on giving)
For one desiring wealth in the future, aside of Sila (virtue, which is the more secure way), generosity toward proper and sublime objects is it's effect. If one is capable to manage giving to proper recipients, maintaining Silas, such is unexcelled in regard of future wealth, if desired.
"But then there is the case where a woman or man is a giver of food, drink, cloth, sandals, scents, ointments, beds, dwellings, & lighting to brahmans & contemplatives. Through having adopted & carried out such actions, on the break-up of the body, after death, he/she reappears in a good destination... If instead he/she comes to the human state, then he/she is wealthy wherever reborn. This is the way leading to great wealth: to be a giver of food, drink, cloth, sandals, garlands, scents, ointments, beds, dwellings, & lighting to brahmans & contemplatives.
One might think why not the case when giving toward equal or lower. Because such is actually the ordinary way, everybody gives to what is near or beloved, or target to get under ones control. Where ever one gives into, there one is destined.
Like if one praises the common and lower would not increase his value under those more sublime, one devoted to scarifies toward equal or lower increases or maintains those bonds.
Or let my person give another sample: Like a worker or servant of a lord would never climb up in his position, gains no remarkable reason to get opened a door, someone not giving toward higher, is bond to be left off.
No misers go
to the world of the devas.
Those who don't praise giving
are fools.
The enlightened
express their approval for giving
and so find ease
in the world beyond.
— Dhp 177
Mudita with all who could and will trace their own and valid worthy objects for their scarifies and may no one ever misses to recognize such for their future well-being in wealth.
