Give Charity

Charity (aka Daan in Hinduism) as practiced today is not what it is supposed to be! Most human beings distort the meaning of charity Daan. In Hinduism right charity is one... the giver of which always remains unknown. It has been rightly said that if the right hand gives charity... the left must always remain unaware! Charity never demands advertising!

I distinctly remember attending world philosophers' conference in 1997 at Pune. It was there I came to know that institutions world over had so much faith in Mr. Claes Nobel, the nephew of Alfred Nobel... the man who instituted the Noble prize... almost hundred million dollars was pledged with Mr. Nobel for the sake of charity to the needy.

I wanted to know the means to the fund. One of the fund managers pointed out that 30% amount went to the kitty of the managers... is that charity what we really practice in life! It is putting the whole institution to shame. Charity always is a one-sided affair! Name and fame carry no meaning in the field of charity! There are many who donate in charities with the condition that their name would never be divulged to anybody.

Charity is what is practiced by John Templeton foundation. They donate for a cause... the welfare of the community and mankind is above all. They guidelines for all donations are clear and fixed. Their charities truly are benevolent and for the benefit of mankind! There is no room for misconceptions or misgivings! They mean... what they say!

On the contrary Bill & Melinda Gates foundation does charity for earning name and fame! They have clearly spelt out on their web site that no religious donations would ever be made. It is for the simple reason... they do not know whom to trust in the maze of so many religious trusts world over... agreed! What of the field of spirituality... the path of pure wisdom where I expect them to make sizeable contribution

Ego and freedom The ego of a human being is what makes one! Let loose... the ego of one can cause irreparable damage... an absolute chaos in practical life! Restricted and directed towards a definite goal... one becomes a Bill Gates in life. The ego of a human being is directly governed by the emotions, the intellect, the wit and wisdom one practices in daily life!

Life going wrong Things seem to go wrong as you have developed a tendency to invoke negative thoughts all the time. The impact of the negative thoughts... you are drained out of the vital energy that keeps life going! To get out of the rut of negative thinking... you have to become an optimist in life! The glass is always half full... you only perceive it half empty!

Remaining unlucky Our being born lucky or unlucky... all is our doing! If we are born rich or poor... it is also our doing! In the cosmic domain everything is governed by the doctrine of karma! As we sow so shall we reap... nothing less or more! As is the residual balance of karma of all our previous manifestations, so is our present! Our being born poor owes its existence to the residual balance of karma of the previous manifestations!

Creator of god I shall explain it all in entirety. God created the Cosmos (the entire Cosmos consists of many universes) and God Almighty exists from times immemorial. And why do we call God Almighty as the Creator of all shall be explained first? God Almighty is not the form of human beings. It is a colossal power... the magnitude of which can never be imagined by human beings with limited power of the senses.

Secret of being Happy Secret of being Happy is subduing your ego forever and pursuing a goal of life dear to your heart. Above 99% people world over never get to pursue a life of their dreams. Some become slave to the choices of their parents, some to their teachers, others to circumstances and some leave things to chance! Imagine the fate of Bill Gates when he was turned out of school on a surmise that he was a total failure in studies!
