“Brother-in-law! One must go carefully in dāna. Do not give dāna and dharma to everyone who merely asks, or in every place that comes to mind. If you intend to give, you must first consider which of the rājasika, tāmasika and sāttvika described above your giving belongs to, mind you! It must not be for name and fame, nor for show, nor something that serves no purpose. In all tendencies, the sāttvika is very holy. That is to say, the meaning is that one must be sāttvika in what one sees, in what one hears and in what one says.”
