👉 Minimum for Self, Maximum for the Society

🔶 We have amazing examples of generosity in the history of India. Kings lead the society with their own examples. Emperor Harshavardhana performed Sarvamedha Yagya and gave always all his possessions to the needy citizens, retain only the bare minimum facilities for his own livelihood; whereas, he was the undisputed ruler of the Indian subcontinent and could have led a lavish life style.

🔷 Janaka was a great king with immense wealth and power, but led the life of a saint and dedicated all his wealth for social welfare. He became famous as Videha, meaning one who is free from bodily lusts. Ishwar Chand Vidyasagar was a professor who gave away all his salary as scholarship for poor students. Such generosity is the real worship of God.
