A wealthy merchant had started an annasatra A place where free food is distributed of service was less in him. However his main purpose was to get acclaimed by the people as a great donor. Even the people who praised him were not few . He was a wholesale trader of cereals. At the end of the year after sale of the grain, what even rotten grain was left in the granary was sent to the annasatra. The hungry people were always served rotten jowar chapattis at the annasatra.
The merchant’s son got married the daughter in law came home she was very virtuous knower of Dharma and thoughtful she was sad served at the rather in law annasatra she to very first day she ordered rotten jowar flour form when the merchant sat down for his meal she served him that chapatti along with his meal. Looking at that black thick chapatti the wealthy merchant curiously put the first morsel as the put the first morsel said daughter there is plenty of flout in eh house where did you get this rotten flour to make chapattis form?
The daughter in law replied this flour has been ordered form the next word.’ The fatter in law said Daughter I do not understand what you have said. Father at present we are living on the fruits of charity an good deeds one done by us in our past lives. The merits of what we do in his life will be obtained in the next in our annasatra the poor are given chapattis made out of this flour in the next world we will have to subsist only on chapattis made out of the same flour. That is why I thought that we should practice eating this form now itself so that we get accustomed and suffer less there.
The merchant realized his mistake he asked his daughter in law to forgive him and got the rotten flour served in the annasatra thrown away. Frown then onwards the poor and the hungry were served chapattis made of god quality flour.
You do charity but only for good of others when you given charity with the spirit of doing god to other no not other not only does it do good to the receive but it betters your life in his world and the other. While giving charity your should not wish that people should praise you. Charity should be done in such a way that even your other hand should not come to one about it.
Rahim was a nawab he used to give charity every day his way of giving alms was unique he would keep a pile of rupee coins paisa coins with himself and with his gaze fixed downwards he world fill his hand with coins and given to the beggars one day even the poet Tulsidas was present there he was that the same beggar had already taken coins thrice yet Rahim poet Tulsidas asked thus.
“O brother where have you learnt his strange method of giving alms? Such that the higher your hands are raised to give alums the lower is your gaze”
The Rahim replied in all humility the one who actually gives is someone else meaning god he continuously provides the alms day the night however as the world mistakenly gives me credit for the also I prefer to keep looking down’ What sublime vision what pure charity do charity with faith love fellow feeling and humbly don’t give it with arrogance with all humility get the blessing of the donee.
