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
