Greatest charity!

 

After the grand finale of the 10 day long Krishna Jayanthi Utsav at Madhurapuri Ashram, an ashram devotee remarked very enthusiastically to Guru Maharaj " How wonderful these 10 days have been! We have done annadhanam to thousands of sadhus.. We have honored and paid respects to so many great vedic scholars and bhagavathas... We have played host to so many . Isn't it great! Would not Bhagavan be very pleased!.." Guru Maharaj replied smilingly, " Yes indeed, Bhagavan would definitely be very pleased if we are also able to give up the thought that we did all of this.... Along with all the dhaanams, let's also give dhaanam of the feeling that ' I did it!' "

Out of sheer compassion a Mahan who is in out-of-the-world state comes down to this physical plane and speaks to us. While this in itself is due to compassion one cannot expect any other kindness from him. Neither can He understand our (low) state nor can we comprehend his (high) state.
