Manvantara· The Manus and right dutyWorship Selflessly With Honestly Obtained Wealth
“This is the most auspicious path for a religious householder of the twice-born orders — to selflessly worship the Personality of Godhead with wealth honestly obtained.”
What the purport teaches
- The most auspicious path for a religious householder of the twice-born orders is to worship the Personality of Godhead selflessly, using honestly obtained wealth.
- Śrīdhara Svāmī and Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī agree that Vedic sacrificial rituals are particularly meant for attached householders.
- Those already renounced in Kṛṣṇa consciousness need only cultivate faith in the Lord’s devotees, Deity form, name, food remnants and teachings. These teachings are given in Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.
