Priitaa 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2003 You have it backwards. Getting closer to God doesn't mean He takes away our personal responsibility to make money or that we should keep what we do have all for ourself. Though knowlege of God CAN be obtained for free for those who sincerely want it. That is, just surrender all material desires and move into an ashrama, dedicate your life 100% to Krisna, then you get the same reciprocatoin in return. For most, we have one foot in each world, so it is to our benefit to give a donation to those who are using our money either to take care of others, to maintain an ashrama, and yes, even to take care of themselves because they are more surrendered than most and working hard to try to make this their last birth. And WE get some benefit by donating to such persons. With that said, here are links to free online books: Bhagavad-gita - http://www.asitis.com Krishna Book otherwise known as 10th canto Srimad Bhagavatam http://www.krishnabook.com Coming Back, the Science of Reincarnation - http://webcom.com/~ara/col/books/KR/cb/ ALL of Prabhupadas books! (However, I have not been able to find out if these are the ones that have been changed or if they are Prabhupada's original words, so I put it last.) http://www.geocities.com/freeprabhupadabooks That ought to keep ya busy. /images/graemlins/smile.gif YS, Priitaa dd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted January 3, 2004 Krishna never said abandon all actions. He said that we should abandon all desires and act without any desire. So instead of getting the limited satisfaction from material objects we can get divine transcendal pleasure from Krishna. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
