Charity

Charity begins at home
Charity begins with oneself
We must be charitable to our self first
Otherwise we cannot be charitable to others

Charity is giving
Charity is giving unconditionally
Charity is vibration of human heart
Like music stemming from a string instrument

Charity is sharing
Sharing our self with others
Even when stomach aches with deep hunger
Sharing our food with others is pure charity

Adversity truly tests ones charity
Nascent charity knows no adversity
Sharing with all living beings alike
Charity enriches the very core of Man

Nascent charity stems from inner joy
The joy of mind, body, and soul
Charity offered with joy and a smile
Enriches the giver and receiver
