Real Charity!!!

Verse 1.12.20 (Aashish Pr):
* Today's verse is around the word: dhanam, charity.
* But Charity also needs to be given with knowledge.
* Eg: Maharaja Sibi's life is described here.
* We can perform charity in different modes: in goodness, in passion and in ignorance. BG clearly explains all these 3 modes of charity.
* Many examples of these modes of charity were described.
* Charity is meant for householders. We have to make sure the recipient of charity is right. With knowledge, this can be done.

* Krishna says in BG: yajna dhana tapas chaiva: sacrifice, charity, austerity will purify even the sages. So Krishna encourages to do this. SP writes, help spread Krishna Consciousness. That is the real charity. Because charity in the 3 modes anyhow binds us somehow, but spreading Krishna Consciousness is an act of charity that is beyond all the 3 modes of material nature. It is transcendental.
