If you want to donate your whole salary and stay hungry, why work at all in the first place?

When you receive your salary at the month end, use ⅒ of it for Dharmic activities and the with the remaining amount, use it to keep your body in a fit condition for your sadhana and, to support your parents and other family members like your wife and children (if any).

Abandoning the fruits of actions means you offer the results of your actions to God. This doesn't mean that you will not receive the fruits of your actions. You certainly will! But when you work, you must perform it as an offering unto God and leave the results in His hands. You don't think about the results of your actions while you are working, and even after you are done with your work!

You can as well stay hungry without earning! Why waste your time and energy in toiling from dawn to dusk just to earn money, donate all of them and stay hungry?
