Is Bhagvad Gita Gyan Yog or Bhakti Yog? Lokmanya Tilak says it is Karma Yog, Sadhna Yog and Ananta Yog.
Hastasya Bhushanam Daanam.
Giving is ornamental to the hand,
How you give shows your personality.
Some like to show that they are giving, some show what they are giving and some even show without giving. There are those who are proud of what they give. Giving feeds their ego, their sense of well being.
Some give for a sense of feeling less guilty about their wealth. The amassing of wealth is vulgar to those who feel they do not deserve it. They give alms to relieve themselves of this guilt.
Some have genuine concern for the needy. They could have passed through that state and realize the pain and helplessness and genuinely give material and physical help.
True giving is with a deep realization of the divine bond between all things alive; the soul which prevails within us and without. We are all connected with each other because of this divine soul prevailing in each of us and it connects us with the supreme Paramatma.
