Swami Mukundananda
Why should I give one tenth of my earnings in service?
Give one tenth in service of God and Guru
The scriptures give the stringent instruction to take out one tenth of what you have earned by proper means and give it in the service of God and Guru. It helps us realize that we work for a higher cause, not only for our own pleasure and enjoyment.
Whatever you have earned by proper means, take out one tenth and give it in the service of God and Guru, for the benefit of all humankind.
