on Charity

Charity makes us pleasant and gives us better health.

Give 10% of your property in Charity. Then your earning will be safe.

One who wants to see-God in this very life, should give away one-tenth of his Capital wealth and his Running wealth. He is sure to see God in this very life or in the next, according to one’s earnestness. If one does not do this Charity, he cannot expect to see Him in this life.

Charity, like RL, should be private. What one hand gives in charity, the other hand should not know, what to talk of your wife, etc.! You have to use a lot of Discrimination while doing charity: 

For poor people - food and clothes: Food - cooked meal is best; it is best to feed them in your house till
they are satisfied: Clothes - old clothes for the poor; not new, because it may be sold for money which may be used for drinks, etc. 

Cash for the worthy; because then he can use properly. 

Beware of ascetics while giving money; they may do prostitution or drink in the dark! If you do charity for such people, you will earn demerits instead!
