52 Noble Use of Money
People still need advice .
He had just built a bungalow and a movie theatre . He had also donated about one hundred and twenty-five thousand rupees to his hometown . I told him that if he had the money , he should give towards the printing of one Aptavani ( Dadashri ’ s books on Akram Vignan , which will eventually have 14 volumes ). He said that he had no idea about giving this way and that no one had explained it to him before . He became very enthusiastic about it and made a commitment to have the books printed that very month . I told him there was no rush .
There are many such people who want to donate money but do not know how . They often ask me for advice . I do not say anything to those who already know how and where to give to charity because it would upset them . As such we are not desperate for money . Give only if you have extra to give , because there is no charity like gnandaan in this world ! When a person reads a book about Gnan , it will bring about tremendous changes from within . So if you have the money , you should give towards gnandaan . If you don ’ t have the money , that is fine too , because we don ’ t really need the money .
Donate Only The Surplus Questioner : What do you mean by ‘ surplus ?’
Dadashri : A ‘ surplus ’ is when you give and you do not have to worry about it the next day . Only give if you think that you will not encounter any financial difficulties for the following six months or so , otherwise do not give .
In fact if you do give here , you will not face any difficulties . Everything will be taken care of . This work is for God . Everything falls into place for whoever does this work . Despite this , I still have to caution you ! Why would I tell you to do something that is futile ? I warn you for your own good . What you are enjoying in this life is a result of what you gave in your past life . Whatever you give in this life , you will receive back in your next life . All
