Anagha Bhosale Instagram – Charity is usually thought of as an activity—the action of contributing to some worthy cause.
But the Bhagavad Gita (16.01) lists charity as a quality. Why?
For the godly who are described in this section of the Gita, charity is much more than an activity; it is a mentality, an inner disposition that expresses itself in regular charitable activity. When the godly give gifts to others, especially to Krishna in a devotional mood, internally they give themselves the best gift: the opportunity to relish the joy of selfless sacrifice and thereby progress towards developing divine selflessness—selflessness in the service of the divine.
In contrast, regular charity, irrespective of the amount given, helps us take steady steps towards selflessness. By cultivating the mentality to give in the service of Krishna, we relish a joy that lies beyond both the pain of losing our hard-earned money and the pleasure of being glorified as charitable—the spiritual joy of selfless devotion. This joy eventually brings complete and everlasting fulfillment, which is the best fruit of charity and indeed the ultimate perfection of life.
