The clouds cheerfully give water to the world in the form of rain. The earth itself without eating the food it grows, gives it away to farmers. Farmers with their heaps of food grain satisfy the hunger of people. Herein we can see the continuity of benevolence. A benevolent man utilizes his strength for creation; not for destruction. All creatures enjoy their possessions. This requires no great strength or courage. Strength and courage are essential for charity, sacrifice and benevolence.
A man, who does not help others is not wealthy though he has wealth; is not a scholar though he has scholarship and he is not living though he is breathing. All beings must desire to render help to others by thought, word and deed in accordance with their mite.
