Bhagavad Gita Chapter 17, Verse 21

यत्प्रत्युपकारार्थं फलमुद्दिश्य वा पुनः | दीयते च परिक्लिष्टं तद्दानं राजसं स्मृतम् ||

yat pratyupakārārthaṁ phalam uddiśya vā punaḥ dīyate ca parikliṣṭaṁ tad dānaṁ rājasaṁ smṛtam

Charity that is given expecting return, or expecting results, or given with distress—that charity is known to be rajasic.

Krishna describes rajasic charity—charity that is rajasic. 'Yat pratyupakārārthaṁ phalam uddiśya vā punaḥ dīyate ca parikliṣṭaṁ'—charity that is given (dīyate) expecting return (pratyupakārārtham), or expecting results (phalam uddiśya), or given with distress (parikliṣṭam). 'Tad dānaṁ rājasaṁ smṛtam'—that charity (dānam) is known (smṛtam) to be rajasic (rājasam). Rajasic charity is given with expectation of return or results, or given reluctantly. It's not selfless—it's driven by desire for personal benefit. Understanding this helps you recognize rajasic charity and move toward sattvic charity.
