The place and the time can never influence your donation

The place and the time can never influence your donation

 Only the deservingness of the receiver decides the fruit of your donation

The place [desha] and the time [kaala] can never influence your donation. Only the deservingness of the receiver decides the fruit of your donation. Krishna did not donate wealth to Kuchela at Varanasi on Maha Shivaratri. When the most deserving Kuchela was found, that place is Varanasi and that day is Maha Shivaratri. Krishna spent almost the entire life to search for a deserving receiver. You do not have patience to search a deserving receiver for your petty donation. Instead of purchasing sin by your petty donations on such foolish occasions, you better accumulate all those petty donations and donate the entire accumulated wealth when you find a real deserving receiver.

 You will get very high fruit for such accumulated donation. Instead of this, you are purchasing the sin in bits only through your petty donations on such foolish occasions in specified places. The deservingness of receiver [paatra] alone decides the result of your donation and there is no trace of influence of place [desha] and time[kaala] on the result.

You must not do donation with emotion. Several beggars exploit you by kindling your emotion through false appearance by creating sympathy in your heart. You can find a beggar limping during the process of donation in the railway compartment. As soon as he gets down from that compartment, he walks straightly and more fast than yourself! He gets into the next compartment and starts again limping! Therefore, you should have patience and analysis to study the deservingness of receiver and you should not be fooled at any cost.
