Prabhupāda: Just like you are working as a medical practitioner. So you earn lakhs of rupees. Give to Kṛṣṇa. That is tam abhyarcya. Then you become perfect. That is also confirmed in Bhāgavata. Ataḥ pumbhir dvija-śreṣṭhāḥ (SB 1.2.13). We have already explained that our karma, our karma, according to varṇa and āśrama . . . ataḥ pumbhir dvija-śreṣṭhā varṇāśrama-vibhāgaśaḥ. Everyone is working according to varṇa and āśrama. So svanuṣṭhitasya dharmasya. Anyone who is serving according to his dharma—an engineer, a doctor, or somebody else, according to his occupational duty he is serving—but he has to see, svakarmaṇā tam abhyarcya saṁsiddhiṁ labhate. It is Gītā. And it is said, svanuṣṭhitasya dharmasya saṁsiddhiḥ, perfection. What is that? Hari-toṣaṇam. We have to see whether Kṛṣṇa is satisfied. So you earn lakhs of rupees and give it to Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa said yat karoṣi, "Never mind what you are doing," kuruṣva tad mad arpaṇam, "give Me it." (laughter) And "No, no, no, sir. I'm serving You, but the money is in my pocket."
Dr. Patel: Everything is Kṛṣṇa's. How can you give anything? Even a leaf?
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes, yes. Just like these boys and girls are giving. Oh, that is the philosophy. These boys, girls, they are giving everything, whole life. Whole life. They have no . . . they do not ask even a single paisa from me that "My dear sir, please give me four annas. I'll go to the cinema." You see? They are serving. Everything they have given. This boy, you like this Girirāja. He's earning at least 50,000 per month. Not a single paisa, even fifty n.p. he does not keep. This is service. They are not poor. They're earning, but everything for Kṛṣṇa.
