Now if you think Sir, "Oh, why . . . why? I am earning for my palatable dishes. Why shall I offer it to God? This is, there are so many, I mean to say encumbrances. I am not going to do," then you become kṛpaṇa, miser. But if you be a brāhmaṇa . . .brāhmaṇa means udāra, liberated, liberal, not liberated, liberal. The opposite word of kṛpaṇa is liberal. "I offer this body for the service of the Supreme." I become so liberal. Not for my sense enjoyment.

So one who engages this body for sense enjoyment, he is called kṛpaṇa, miser. And one who engages this body for the service of the Supreme Lord, he is called brāhmaṇa.
