“Caring

"Whatever
the
measure be of charity,those
who perform charity unto their capacity,
they will attain excellence.
And those having attained immense wealth,
Say they shall give by and
by, Indeed they are lost in a sea of guilt".
----
NALADIAR
"In
sharing sprouts the spring of joy,
in sharing lies the meaning of
wealth."
--- BHAGAVAD GITA on
Vedic outlook on life.
"Thy
food, thy clothing, thy convenience of habitation; thy protection
from the injuries,
thy enjoyment of the comforts and the pleasure of
life thou owest to the assistance of others,
and couldest not enjoy but
in the hands of society. It is thy duty,
therefore, to be friendly to
mankind, as it is thy interest that men should be friendly to
thee".---BUDDHA
