Bhagavad Gita 16.15
आढ्योऽभिजनवानस्मि कोऽन्योऽस्ति सदृशो मया।यक्ष्ये दास्यामि मोदिष्य इत्यज्ञानविमोहिताः॥
āḍhyo'bhijanavānasmi ko'nyo'sti sadṛśo mayā yakṣye dāsyāmi modiṣya ityajñānavimohitāḥ
Translation
"I am wealthy, well-born; what other is there that is like unto me? I will sacrifice, I will give alms, I will rejoice." Thus deluded by unwisdom,
What it means
"I am wealthy and highborn; who is like me? I will sacrifice, give, rejoice." So they speak, deluded by ignorance. Even their religion is vanity. Generosity performed for status is still acquisition.
Try this today
Even generosity corrupted into self-display: giving as another acquisition.
Something to reflect on
Is any of my goodness actually a purchase of status?
