HELPING THE POOR

The very act of giving gives joy to the giver and receiving a favour causes pain to the receiver. This is inherent in human nature, apart from any consequences as promised in Scripture. This is a characteristic instance of the Tiru-Valluvar approach. He always reserves for emphasis some aspect, which is not bound up with religious beliefs.

You may find it unpleasant to be approached for charity. But that is only until you see the radiant face of the man whose distress you have relieved. When you see that face, you will feel that A was indeed good fortune that you had the chance and the Power to create so much joy.
