பரோபகாரம்

○Regardless of how much one earns,  at least a little out of it one must use to help a needy and any good public causes. 

○When a part of the body aches and you feel the pain,  your eyes shed tears. Isn't it? The same way if anyone suffers in any remote part of the world, we need to be compassionate and it's obligatory on our part to do our bit to mitigate the suffering. 

○There is nothing to take any pride in so doing. Nor do we have to feel any compulsions in doing. 

○The whole universe is the very form of God,  the Almighty. When we realize this, we will with full heart involve ourselves in redressing the suffering elsewhere in the world. 

○In so doing if any strain arises,  we won't feel strained. That kind of selfless service, indeed, would make us feel the fulfillment and bliss. 

○When you see the suffering redressed and his face blossoming smile,  all the strain while serving pales and fades away.
