Is it proper to do community feeding or build a temple with money earned through wrongdoing?
A brief discourse of Pujya Maharaj Ji — watch the full video above to hear the complete teaching.
Full Discourse
If someone earns money through willful conduct and does community feeding or gets a temple built with a priest sitting there, then Maharaj Ji, which of the two is better? You speak of what is better. If you do community feeding through willful conduct and get a priest to sit there, then you will go to hell. If you earn money through willful conduct—willfulness is a word, willfulness—willfulness includes unrighteousness too. If you earn money through dharma, if dharma is a word, it means earning money through hard work, earning it righteously, then from ₹100 you can give ₹10 to someone, keep ₹90 for yourself and can give ₹10 to the poor, to someone sick, to anyone.
Your charity will be good. It will be virtuous. Like if you earned ₹1 lakh through sinful conduct and gave the whole lakh to a sant, and when that sant uses that 1 lakh, his mind will not be engaged in bhajan. Then your sin is created, and the sin of not engaging the sant in bhajan is also created. Both will take you to hell. Through willful conduct, people are making this mistake—those who commit willful sinful conduct and think, "I'll give 10, 5 lakhs to sants, then we will become pure"—no, you will go to hell, and that sant's mind will also become corrupted, and you too will have to go to hell.
