It is a religious commitment, based on the principle that 100 percent of one’s energy comes from God, 100 percent of one’s belonging comes from God, 100 percent of one’s activity and creativity comes from God. God gives back 90 percent. And God and the Gods keep 10 percent for their work. What is their work? Uplifting humanity through religious organizations of all kinds. There is a great swami in India who began his entire organization largely on income from coconuts. Of every thirty coconuts that religious growers take off their trees, they give him three.
