Translation

Translation

And charity performed at an impure place, at an improper time, to unworthy persons, or without proper attention and respect is said to be in the mode of ignorance.

O labdara, suteikta nešvarioje vietoje, netinkamu laiku, nevertoms asmenybėms ar atsainiai ir be pagarbos, yra neišmanymo guṇos.

Purport

Purport

Contributions for indulgence in intoxication and gambling are not encouraged here. That sort of contribution is in the mode of ignorance. Such charity is not beneficial; rather, sinful persons are encouraged. Similarly, if a person gives charity to a suitable person but without respect and without attention, that sort of charity is also said to be in the mode of darkness.

KOMENTARAS: Posmas smerkia veiklą, kai aukojamos lėšos skatina alkoholizmą, narkomaniją bei azartinius lošimus. Tokia parama yra neišmanymo guṇos. Ji nežada nieko gera – veikiau pataikauja blogiui. Panašiai, jei labdara suteikiama vertam žmogui, bet be reikiamos pagarbos ir dėmesio, tokia labdara irgi yra tamsybės guṇos.
