Thanks Sunder-ji
One more question for Guroos..
Recently while reading Dharampals books and also while watching Krishna recently I heard some mention of how the wealth of a person may be allocated. I vaguely remember that
(1) only 1/6th of a person's income is due for taxes (per Manu Dharma Shastra ?) and
(2) that a person should only and atleast spend 1/6th (?) of his income towards charity. IIRC this was while I was watching Krishna. I think the episode was when Shukracharya was asking King Bali to desist from giving land worth 3 steps to Vamana.
Some knowledge regarding income allocations per Dharma Shastras would be much appreciated.
