A new definition for gift or charity needed
posted July 31, 2008 - 10:25amThe real meaning of gift or charity depends on people to people. But there should have some common elements in benevolence. Through charity some people attains the real rapturous joy. Now read the story.
There lived a saint who has a lot of disciples. One day a leprosy man approached the saint and asked for shelter. The saint accepted the sick man with all passion and kindness. The leprosy man was also been allowed to do the necessary jobs of the saint.
Once a very rich man visited the saint and impressed by the divine nature of the saint. The rich man presented a precious chain to the saint and left the place. The saint soon presented the chain to the leprosy patient.
After a few days the rich man once again visited the saint. He was surprised and got angry to see the precious chain with the leprosy man. And he complained to the saint about it.
The saint replied with a smile that there is absolutely no right over gifted things. So one should think twice before going to charity and charity should be o full of consent.
Any message from the story?
