What does the scripture say about the act of giving, and how should it be done?

Chapter 14 references the Taittiriya Upanishad and other scriptures to outline several principles for giving. The most important rule is that giving should always be done with faith, as anything given without faith is not received. However, the text also notes other motivations for giving. One might give out of fear of a king's command or a scripture's command. Giving can also be done out of a sense of social propriety or shame, such as giving gifts during marriages and other customs. Furthermore, giving is presented as a way to maintain friendship, which is part of the education of social behavior. This aligns with Baba's teaching of 'Dana' (charity) for the devotee's own benefit.
