Donating Spiritual knowledge and donating money should be done carefully after deep analysis

One should be very careful in taking the spiritual knowledge (Jnanam) from the preacher and should be equally careful in giving money to a poor fellow. You should analyze the preacher and also the poor fellow. If the preacher is not correct, the wrong spiritual knowledge will destroy the soul forever. If the poor fellow is with bad qualities, your donation will bring you sin. Therefore, Jnanam (Spiritual Knowledge) and Danam (Donating money) are to be done carefully after deep analysis only. Otherwise, instead of good results, bad results are inevitable.
