Noble Use of Money
twenty-six years. I am not the owner of this speech. When you
are convinced of that and begin to have some faith in me, I will
then tell you how to spend your money so that it benefits you. If
you have some faith in me, will there be a problem if I tell you?
Questioner: No, Dada.
Dadashri: Then that is the good way, there is no other
way. You should have someone trustworthy to guide you.
Someone who has nothing to gain for himself! One can only be
called trustworthy if he has absolutely nothing to gain for himself.
I did not find such a person in my life; I only came across
people who would take their commission every step of the way.
Questioner: Dada, please keep showing us the way.
Dadashri: Wherever there is commission involved, the
money is going in the wrong direction. To this day, no money
of this association (formed by the followers of Dada) has been
used for even a clerical or any other account. This association
is so pure, that everyone uses his or her personal money for the
work that is done. So this is the right cause. If you have money
and you want to give it, give it to this association. If you do not
have any money, then you don’t have to give. If someone were
to ask me if he should give more than once, I would say, “No,”
and tell that he should concentrate on his business instead. He
has already given once and there is no need for him to give
again. One should do as much as he can, within his capacity. If
you can support the weight of ten pounds, then lift eight pounds,
not eighteen. You do not need to go overboard and suffer in the
process. To ensure that your surplus money does not go in the
wrong direction, I am showing you this path. Otherwise the chit
is such that it will be preoccupied with greed only. That is why
the Gnani Purush shows you where to give money.
