generosity in the giver. The benefit of the taker lies in the fact that he feels weil by the satisfaction of his needs, that he develops a liking for the generosity of the giver and that eventually similar generosity also germinates in the taker, which goes to develop all good qualities in him.
The fully detached l'ītarāga Keralis are infinitely charitable. The question that arises here is that they do not possess even a grain to give. So, whai can they give? How are they infinitely charitable? In answer to this question we will have to say that when a detached Vitarāga Kerali sees the worldly creatures bound by the slavery of sensory pleasures and by the shackles of dependence. His heart melts at their miserable condition and he is moved to preach the right knowledge to all such miserable creatures so that they may realise their precarious condition and make effort to come out of it. This is their infinite charity.
Charity is the practical form of merciful nature of the charitable person The l'itarāga Kerali preaches to all. even to those that are not literatzble. While preaching he does not distinguish between the good and the bad. Had there been a distinction between the good and the bad, the non-liberatable ones would have been turned out from the presence of the l'harāzu keralis, but such a thing does not happen. In the act of charity the goodness and badness is inherent in the taker. If the charitable person gives a good thing in charity and the receiver puts it to bad use, the giver canrot be blamed for it. The giver gives for the benefit of the receiver and this giving is for the welfare of both - the giver and she receiver. Charity being a means of liberation is a form of dharma The Disarnara scholars Jinendraamar l'arni and Pugaliishor Mrákhtar have said thai service and charity are parts of dhara and it is quite so. Piety is associated with dharma in the same way as the shadow is associated wita ine body.
another aspect of the litarūga le ali being infinitely chariable is inat whatever He has - the body, organs, mind. speech, etc. are for the benefit of the world at large and not for their own benefit. They do mot bave anything 10 gain from ihe world, only give
