how much is enough!!!!

[Guest guest]

HARI AUM

 

Really a beautiful piece.

 

Now let us ask this question-

how much is enough.

Who decides it.

How to decide it.

What does our Bhagavan say in this regard in his Gita.

 

Looking forward towards some solid inputs from our

members.

 

Regards

Dear Shri Balagopal,

Almost 2 weeks passed and there is no response to this question how much is enough.

I do not know if there is any mention in Githa about this but from a learned person

I heard there is mention of this in Manu sasthram. One can keep upto 6 times of his

income for himself and the rest to be donated to those who are needy. In Jnanapaana

Shri Poonthanam describes onnukittiyal patthakkan moham, patthu kittiyal

satham etc.. and the desire goes on. First one must learn to control the desire and live with what

one gets and be content with that. That should be enough for this time.

Since you are in a different project we will discuss this at a later time
