Simplified Meaning:

Taking care not to waste resources means you'll have everything you need in the future. Imagine if you always finish your meals without throwing food away. Over time, you'll save money and ensure you have enough to eat when it's really important. Similarly, if you make good use of what you have, like reusing clothes or fixing things instead of buying new ones, you'll save a lot more in the long run. This idea has been practiced throughout history, such as during times of rationing in wars, where people had to be very careful with what little they had. By being mindful and not wasting anything, people discovered they could get by with less and still be happy and comfortable. Applying this to daily life, one can live more sustainably and build habits that ensure they never run out of essential things.
