question what is the difference between charity in the mode of goodness and transcendental charity answer the essential difference is in the content and the intent of the charity in the content the charity comprises directly of krishna or things connected with krishna in goodness the charity may be dharmic but there can be other things also in goodness somebody may give mundane books in charity or not mundane in terms of obscene books but books about modeling material education or dictionaries or things like that so basically the explicit connection with god is what characterizes transcendence transcendental charity in that is with respect to the content and with respect to intent primarily in charity in goodness is characterized by not wanting any return whereas charity in transcendence is characterized by wanting to benefit the person in a holistic way body mind and soul so that intention and understanding of benefiting the complete person is usually not there in goodness and even if that intention is there if the method of how to actually benefit may not be so well known so the content and the intent are what differentiates charity in transcendence and goodness thank you
