Giving What We Can

Earn. Work. Be with your family. Do charity in some way, may be sharing your knowledge, serving others, do anything you can. This will help your sojourn in the other world. Give without hoarding. Knowledge is the greatest legacy you can pass on to your children. (Saanron aakkuthal thanthaikku kadane!). Your children will not know the pleasure of hard work if you bequeath them wealth. Guide them on the path of devotion, teach them good manners. Let them grow up on the strengths of the virtues you impart to them.

Meanwhile, do charity and you will have a smooth passage to the other world. But beware. In the name of charity, do not give away your wealth to undeserving persons. Donate to worthy persons, ‘Paathiramarindhu pichai idu’. You will get good harvest, only when you sow your seeds on fertile soil.

This world does not accommodate the poor, and the spiritual world does not entertain those who lack Divine Grace. (Porul illaarkku ivvulagam illai, Arul illaarkku avvulagam illai).
