charity...

One volcanic eruption may sweep away all our roads and hospitals and cities and buildings.Let us give up all this foolish talk of doing good to the world.It is not waiting for your or my help, yet we must work and constantly do good, because it is a blessing to ourselves .That is the only way we can become perfect.No beggar whom we have helped has ever owed a single cent to us we owe everything to him, because he has allowed us to exercise our charity on him.------Swami Vivekanand
