Brahmana’s concern and dog’s concern

Those who give education in exchange for money—they are not brahmanas. For
instance, we are lecturing, educating people. We don’t say, “Give us a
salary.” We simply ask them, “Please come.” That is why we are cooking food
and holding so many free festivals. “We’ll give you food. We’ll give you a
comfortable seat. Please come and hear about self-realization and God
consciousness.” We are not asking money—”First of all pay the fee; then you
can come and learn Bhagavad-gita.” We never say that. But these so-called
teachers who first of all bargain for a salary—”What salary will you give
me?”—that is a dog’s concern. That is not a brahmana’s concern. A brahmana
will never ask about a salary. A brahmana is eager to see that people are
educated. “Take free education and be educated; be a human being”—this is a
brahmana’s concern.
