<div class="text">
The ''kṛpaṇa'', those who are not ''brāhmaṇa''. . . The ''brāhmaṇa'' means liberal, or advanced in knowledge, and ''kṛpaṇa'' means miser. So the opposite word of ''brāhmaṇa'' is ''kṛpaṇa. Kṛpaṇa''. . . Because one who is liberal, he knows how to utilize this life; therefore he is called ''brāhmaṇa''. ''Brahma jānāti''. This life is meant for knowing Brahman, the Supreme Absolute Truth. That is ''brāhmaṇa''. ''Brahma jānātīti brāhmaṇaḥ''. And if somebody, getting this human life, he does not become a ''brāhmaṇa'', then he remains a ''kṛpaṇa'', miser. ''Kṛpaṇa'' means miser. You have got some millions of dollars, but you do not spend it. You keep it in the safe and see daily, "Oh, I have got so much money." They are ''kṛpaṇa''. Why you keep money? Utilize it. Distribute it for Kṛṣṇa. That is ''brāhmaṇa''. Why should you keep it? But the ''kṛpaṇa'', they do not know how to utilize the money. The money belongs to Kṛṣṇa. ''Īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam'' ([[vanisource:ISO 1 (1974)|ISO 1]]). Everything belongs to Kṛṣṇa. That's a fact. ''Bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ sarva-loka-maheśvaram'' ([[vanisource:BG 5.29 (1972)|BG 5.29]]). So He is the proprietor. Some way or other. . . Just like in our Society somebody is entrusted with millions of dollars to spend. But that money is Kṛṣṇa's money; it is not his money. Similarly, you take big society, the nation, the community, whatever money is there, that is Kṛṣṇa's money. So if we spend it properly, conscientiously, for Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, then it is properly utilized. Otherwise he becomes a ''kṛpaṇa'', miser. He got the opportunity to serve Kṛṣṇa—Kṛṣṇa gave him so much money—but he kept it without any use. That is called ''kṛpaṇa''.

So ''brāhmaṇa'' and. . . ''Brāhmaṇas'', I have already explained, that ''brāhmaṇa's'' business is ''dāna-pratigraha''.  He will collect. ''Brāhmaṇa'' has the right to collect from his disciples, spiritual master. But he will distribute it. ''Dāna-pratigraha''. He will be also a man charitably disposed, spending that money for public welfare, for Kṛṣṇa consciousness. So ''kṛpaṇa''. ''Kṛpaṇa'', this word, is used, ''kṛpaṇāḥ phala-hetavaḥ''. The ''kṛpaṇas'', they are simply trying to get some benefit.
