[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 161739, member: 16886"] Ishna Ji [COLOR=#000080][B][I]I'm not sure how much of my golak money goes to improving the Gurdwara vs how much goes to those 100% less fortunate.[/I][/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B][I]I think people can get lazy donating to their church or Gurdwara with the (rightful) belief that it will go to a good cause but I think sometimes the Institution of the church or Gurdwara can get a bit carried away with things like decorations on the outside of the building and not so much with welfare programs or support for the poor.[/I][/B][/COLOR] [B][I][COLOR=#000080][/COLOR][/I][/B] [B][I][COLOR=#000080]The above from your post.[/COLOR][/I][/B] As long as one gives with true, pure and clear intentions, then what the so called middleman does with it shouldn't affect what we give. If we give knowingly that it will be used for a good cause, this should be the main focus. Some do feel that the middleman abuses their position. However, this should not be a deterring factor and stop anyone from giving in the first instance. Some feel that the Guru knows that they have given with true intentions, what the middleman does will not influence Guru's vision on one self, but on the so called middleman. I feel that we would be judged by our true and honest actions and not by the results of the next person. It's always good to physically witness your donation going all the way. However, in this day and age it's not always appropriate. Giving to a gurdwara or otherwise should not really matter. Wherever one feels more inclined at the time, there are many reputable registered charities like Unicef,oxfam, cancer research,Aids, homeless shelters...etc...etc.. I normally choose charities with proven track records. The only thought with regards to improving your giving is maybe maintenance. By this I mean trying to allocate x amount on a daily or weekly basis. It's a lot easier for most of us to give a larger x amount whenever we can at our convenience. But, giving a smaller amount more frequently would be 'a more frequent positive action' and a frequent reminder of our positive action. This 'good' frequency can help us in our personal development at ALL levels. 10% or daswhand should be considered a starting point. If circumstances permit, then the more the better. We shouldn't view it as a tax or anything but more so a duty of Seva. The more frequent, the better. Waheguru Lucky Singh [/QUOTE]
