Keep Strong Intentions to Help People
Does any tree eat its own fruits? No. So these trees teach human beings, ‘Give your ‘fruits’ to others. Nature will provide for you.’ The neem tree is actually bitter, yet people plant it because of its other benefits. Otherwise, they would surely uproot the sapling. However, it is beneficial in other ways; it gives cooling, its medicinal property is beneficial and its extract is beneficial. In Satyug (according to Hindu mythology, the first of the Four Ages, characterized by virtue, wisdom, happiness, and morality), people only strived to make others happy. All day long the only thoughts that used to arise were, ‘Who can I oblige?’
It is okay if you are not able to do much outwardly, but your bhaav should certainly be, ‘I have money, so I want to lessen someone else’s misery.’ If you have wisdom, then, ‘Even by using my wisdom to explain things to someone, I want to lessen his misery.’ With whatever surplus you have, help others. Otherwise, at the very least, maintain an obliging nature. What does it mean to have an obliging nature? It is the nature to help others!
If one has an obliging nature then his nature would be so wonderful! Simply giving away money is not considered an obliging nature. You may or may not have money. However your wish, your intention should be, ‘How can I be of help to others?’ If someone has come to your home, then you should have the intention, ‘How can I help him?’ To give away money or not is dependent on your [financial] ability.
It’s not as if money is the only way to oblige others; that is dependent upon the capacity of the giver. You simply have to maintain the intent in your mind that, ‘How can I oblige others?’ You only have to ensure that this much prevails.
