What is relation between money and charity?
Questioner: Then is there no scope for the donation of money?
Dadashri: The donation of money is covered by gnandaan. If you get some books printed right now, then money is involved in that; that is gnandaan.
Questioner: Everything indeed happens through the means of money, doesn’t it? Even annadaan is given through the means of money, isn’t it?
Dadashri: Even when you want to give medicine, you have to buy it for one hundred rupees and then you can give it to the person in need, right? So, money is inevitably used for everything. However, it is best if money is donated in this way.
Charity for Gnandaan
Here, the only expense is for the books that are being printed, and there is that much confidence that the money for the books will indeed come automatically. There are active evidences (nimit) behind that and they will all come together. ‘We’ do not need to shout or beg. If ‘we’ ask someone for it, then he may feel hurt. He will say, “Such a large sum?” When he says, “Such a large sum,” it means he feels hurt. So we get confirmation of that, don’t we? And if someone feels hurt, ‘we’ have not remained in ‘our’ dharma (moral duty). Thus, ‘we’ cannot ask in the least. If he says it willingly, then ‘we’ take the money. ‘We’ can only accept it if he understands gnandaan. So all those who have donated, they have done so after understanding gnandaan. They have donated of their own accord. To this day, ‘we’ have not asked anyone for it.
Your money is used in a commendable way when you have books printed here, and this can only happen if you have the merit karma. They can only be printed if the money has been earned through lawful means, otherwise, they cannot be printed. It would not work out, would it!
