न वा उ॑ दे॒वाः क्षुध॒मिद्व॒धं द॑दुरु॒ताशि॑त॒मुप॑ गच्छन्ति मृ॒त्यव॑: ।
उ॒तो र॒यिः पृ॑ण॒तो नोप॑ दस्यत्यु॒तापृ॑णन्मर्डि॒तारं॒ न वि॑न्दते ॥
The gods have not ordained that humans die of hunger; even to the well-fed man death comes in many shapes.
The wealth of the generous man never wastes away; while he who will not give finds none to comfort him.
य आ॒ध्राय॑ चकमा॒नाय॑ पि॒त्वोऽन्न॑वा॒न्त्सन्र॑फि॒तायो॑पज॒ग्मुषे॑ ।
स्थि॒रं मन॑: कृणु॒ते सेव॑ते पु॒रोतो चि॒त्स म॑र्डि॒तारं॒ न वि॑न्दते ॥
He who, possessed of food and hardens his heart against the weak man, hungry and suffering, and
who comes to him for help, though of old he helped him – surely he finds none to console him.
स इद्भो॒जो यो गृ॒हवे॒ ददा॒त्यन्न॑कामाय॒ चर॑ते कृ॒शाय॑ ।
अर॑मस्मै भवति॒ याम॑हूता उ॒ताप॒रीषु॑ कृणुते॒ सखा॑यम् ॥
Bounteous is he who gives unto the beggar who comes to him in want of food and feeble.
Success attends him in the shout of battle. He makes a friend of him in future troubles.
मोघ॒मन्नं॑ विन्दते॒ अप्र॑चेताः स॒त्यं ब्र॑वीमि व॒ध इत्स तस्य॑ ।
नार्य॒मणं॒ पुष्य॑ति॒ नो सखा॑यं॒ केव॑लाघो भवति केवला॒दी ॥
The foolish man wins food with fruitless labour: that food - I speak the truth - shall be his ruin.
He feeds no trusty friend, no man to love him. All guilt is he who eats alone with no partaker.
Rig Veda 10.117.1,2,3,6
The Adi Parva of the Hindu Epic Mahabharata, in Chapter 91, states that -
A person must first acquire wealth by honest means, then embark on charity; be hospitable to those who come to him; never inflict pain on any living being; and share a portion with others whatever he consumes.
|| Living creatures get influenced through dānam; ||
|| Enemies lose hostility through dānam; ||
|| A stranger may become a loved one through dānam; ||
|| Vices are killed by dānam. ||
CHARITY IS THE CRUX OF HUMANITY,
THE WAY FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS,
THE WAY TO SHOW THE GENEROSITY OF SPIRIT,
THE TENET OF LORD SHIVA.
