AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I work on an outsourced basis as an employee in a Government office. Since I have a low salary, I manage the work of the contractors in-house related to the office and get a fee from that. The fee I am taking from the contractor is wrong or right (is it becoming Nishkama Karma or not)? 😟👷🏼‍♂️

Rules and regulations of private or government organisations are man-made with an eye on their personal benefits. These rules are not to be treated as absolute laws.

Such being not the case, what you are doing is perfectly fine.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
