There is an old saying for what and how to donate, prevalent in India.
That goes like this.....
If you are donating food, never think twice,simply give to the hungry or who so ever is asking for it.
If you are donating money think before giving. Review the pros and cons regarding the usage of the money donated by you, but still give according to your judgement.
If you are getting your daughter married which is considered the highest degree of donation for a parent in Hindu System, then think as many times, for as long as required. Make sure of each and every aspect before committing to someone.
What to give....
A million dollar question with a simple but befitting answer.............
Whatever you anticipate to take......
Giving enriches the environment...soothing the psyche of the giver.
And giving without expectation is simply a divine act....
Giving gives a deep satisfaction as a return gift and that is for sure. A small gesture of giving love,warmth or encouragement to someone enhances the level of received joy for the self in bargain. A smile back from even a stranger lights up the spirit.Joy on the face of some oldie while asked about his or her well being is simply amazing with a deep impact.
An old neighbour once made a passing remark that with passing times people have started sticking to their home more and don't come out to interact with other neighbours.Although modes of relaxation and entertainment are drastically different from as it used to be decades ago still talking pleasantly to someone gives relaxation to the mind. Exchanging views also gives knowledge as well as company.
Give company to receive one.
Even if one gives unrestricted love or warmth without any expectation in return, still giving is in itself a genuine enhancer of well being for both....the giver as well as reciever......Not giving gives a negative input to the mind while giving gives a positive impact.
Blessed are ones who choose to give and share.
