👉 Generous Like the Clouds

🔷 Stingy fellows, who keep their resources only to themselves and remain apathetic to others’ sufferings, are in fact accounting sins for their future destiny. Those who have stocked heaps of wealth in their possession but never use it are mere ‘guards’ of money. Such fellows are burden on this earth that can do nothing for anyone. Even materialistically, they don’t enjoy anything; the thirst of gaining more, the worries and tensions of safeguarding the possession and the miserly attitude do not let them live in peace; they neither eat well nor can give anything to others. Despite having millions or billions of riches, they remain poor, beggars… Thirst for more and more of selfish possession does not even let one see what are the right or wrong means of piling the stocks of wealth. Prosperity earned by unfair means cannot let one prosper… One dies empty handed and later one all that ‘dead property’ possessed by him does no good to even to those who grabs it afterwards…

🔶 On the contrary, those who earn honestly and spend magnanimously and wisely in good, constructive and auspicious activities are always prospering. They are like clouds, which enshower generously; even if emptied today, the clouds are filled again and return back tomorrow with same dignity.

🔷 Integrity, benevolence, caring and helping sociability – are virtues of greatness, which can make the entire world your own. No one can forget the warmth of meeting such amicable personalities. But, the selfish fellows, howsoever talented and affluent they might be, remain aloof and virtually isolated; their state is like that of milk kept in a dirty pot, which is thrown without use…
