Hare KRsna Prabhuji,

PAMHO.

24 * 7 involvement does not happen overnight. For that, you have to start your basic sadhana, as has already been mentioned by Chirag prabhu. And as Maral mataji said, the entire amount earned by a grihasta is not for him and his family alone. It is also to maintain other varnas and ashramas. Pls keep that in mind and try to keep money aside every month for charity.

Once you start on the basic sadhana and become regular in that, the rest of the answers you will get. You have to start on the journey to reach anyway. Pls get into the water, only then you can swim. Sitting on the shores, its not possible to measure the depth of water.

Haribol,

Your servant,

Rashmi

The main duty of people in Grihastha ashram is to take care of other Devotees in other 3 ashrams:

Brahmachari

Vanaprastha

Sannyasi

So they earn money, produce foods ... keep for themselves something for basic needs and other part they give away as a donation.

So it is sacrifice.

Your servant,

Hare Krishna, Devotees, dandavat

अपने कर्त्तव्य-निर्वाह विरक्त भाव से तथा स्वामित्व व अहंकार की भावना से रहित होकर काम करने से, मनुष्य शुद्ध चेतना के द्वारा अपनी स्वाभाविक स्थिति में आसीन होकर भौतिक कार्यों को करते हुए भी सरलता के साथ भगवान के धाम में प्रविष्ट हो सकता है (SB.32.6) |

जो व्यक्ति कर्म फलों को परमेश्वर को समर्पित कर के आशक्ति रहित हो कर अपना कर्म करता है, वह पाप कर्मों से उसी प्रकार अप्रभावित रहता है जिस प्रकार कमल से जल (BG.5.10) | अपने कर्म-फलों की सारी आसक्ति को त्याग कर सदैव संतुष्ट तथा स्वतंत्र रह कर व्यक्ति सभी प्रकार के कार्यों में व्यस्त रह कर भी कोई सकाम कर्म नहीं करता (BG.4.20) |

जो कृष्ण के साथ अपने सम्बन्ध को जानते हुए कर्म करता है उसे मृत्यु के पश्चात् अपने कर्म फलो का सुख-दुःख नहीं भोगना पड़ता | समस्त कष्टों तथा दुखो के उपचार का सर्वोत्तम उपाय यह हे कि अपने सारे कर्मो को भगवान (श्री कृष्ण) की सेवा में अर्पित कर दिया जाये (SB.1.5.32) | इस प्रकार जब मनुष्य के सारे कार्यकलाप भगवान की सेवा में समर्पित होते हैं, तो वही कर्म जो उसके शास्वत बंधन के कारण होते हैं, कर्म रुपी वृक्ष के विनाश्कर्ता बन जाते हैं (SB.1.5.34) |

हरे कृष्णा,

I am not grishtha. ..nor am I entirely sure of the word lol. But the question seems fairly strait forward. Mindfullness. Just like the Buddhist tries to be mindful and totally focused on the task at hand in the moment remembering the Buddha during every task. Or the abrahamic faith...it is said Abraham spirituality every task in his life. Same concept would apply. Remember Krishna in every task you do. Remember as well you are not the doer and maybe even...at least in my opinion....tithe some of the money to something Krishna related. It is not a holy life without it being a whole life. Meaning material and spiritual aren't separate components. One should spirituality his existence which naturally must take place in the material world. Everyone has a different path. However. Asceticism is extreme and materialistic is extreme. One should be in the middle and above both modes. My opinion.

Much love
