	So this is called ''dānam''. Kṛṣṇa also says, ''kuruṣva tad mad-arpaṇam'' ([[BG 9.27 (1972)\|BG 9.27]]): "If you want to give in charity, give it to Me." ''Kuruṣva tad mad-arpaṇam''. Dadāsi yat. "If you have got some capacity to give something, give it to Me." He never said to ''daridra-nārāyaṇa''. I do not know how they manufacture these things. Kṛṣṇa says: "Give it to Me." He's not ''daridra.'' He's Nārāyaṇa, but He's not ''daridra.'' So the principle is to give to the richest Nārāyaṇa, not ''daridra-nārāyaṇa''. But these rascals misinterpret that ''daridra'' has become Nārāyaṇa. How ''daridra'' can become Nārāyaṇa? This is going on. And therefore there is no effect. There is no effect. See from practical what Vivekananda has done? But they have made propaganda, false propaganda—they have got roads. In a city like Bombay, big road, Vivekananda.
