There was an old woman in Uttar Pradesh who used to give away many things as charity. She used to go about with her head bowed. Some people asked her why she was humbling herself in that manner when she could hold her head high because of all the numerous gifts she was making to all and sundry. She modestly replied, "When the Lord is giving me so many things with His thousand hands, all that I am giving is only with a single hand. What reason is there for feeling proud about what I am doing? Should not people feel ashamed about giving to others with one hand what God gives them with a thousand hands?" Each and Everyone must develop the spirit of sacrifice . You must serve people with your body. - taken from Swami's Guru Poornima Discourse in 1990.... Sai Ram
