People should come forward to cooperate with this movement. That is called tyāgena. Charity should be given, money should be given. Money is . . . Gṛhasthas, those who are householders, their money should be spent for good cause, not for drinking and eating meat and dancing.

If you actually want happiness, these things should be stopped, and tapasā brahmacaryeṇa śamena damena ca (SB 6.1.13). Tyāgena. Tyāgena, means to give in charity, tyāga. So people should spend sufficiently for propagating this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is tyāga. Because everything requires money. Just like our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, we have got 102 branches, and we have to spend money. We spend money, not . . . we are spending at the present moment, monthly, seventy thousand dollars. Seventy thousand dollars. In Indian calculation, it is seven lakhs of rupees. So everything required. We have to maintain establishment, we have to feed them, we have to educate them, we have to dress them.

So people should come forward to cooperate with this movement. That is called tyāgena. Charity should be given, money should be given. Money is . . .

When he retired, fifty percent of his money he spent for Kṛṣṇa, and twenty-five percent he kept reserved for personal emergency, and twenty-five percent he gave to his relatives, because relatives require some money—they also expect from father some money, "All right you take also some money." But not that whole thing goes to the relatives and nothing to Kṛṣṇa. No. Tyāgena.
