Everyone has a tendency to give something in charity; Krsna says, "Give it to Me," and this means that all surplus money accumulated should be utilized in furthering the Krsna consciousness movement
Srimad-Bhagavatam
SB Cantos 10.14 to 12 (Translations Only)
In Bhagavad-gītā (9.27) Lord Kṛṣṇa has ordered,
- yat karoṣi yad aśnāsi
- yaj juhoṣi dadāsi yat
- yat tapasyasi kaunteya
- tat kuruṣva mad-arpaṇam
"O son of Kuntī, all that you do, all that you eat, all that you offer and give away, and all austerities that you perform should be done as an offering unto Me." Śrīla Prabhupāda has commented on this verse as follows: "Thus, it is the duty of everyone to mold his life in such a way that he will not forget Kṛṣṇa in any circumstance. Everyone has to work for maintenance of his body and soul together, and Kṛṣṇa recommends herein that one should work for Him. Everyone has to eat something to live; therefore he should accept the remnants of foodstuffs offered to Kṛṣṇa. Any civilized man has to perform some religious ritualistic ceremonies; therefore Kṛṣṇa recommends, 'Do it for Me,' and this is called arcanam. Everyone has a tendency to give something in charity; Kṛṣṇa says, 'Give it to Me,' and this means that all surplus money accumulated should be utilized in furthering the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.
