Guest guest Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 Pranam. It is true that one should be generous but we must do so within our limits. There is a saying in Tamil which says " Aatril pottalum alanthu podu" that means to have a limit in all things. That is also the Thirukural's statement. Here is the kural... Prosperous as his life may appear, unless a man measures well his wealth, it will disappear without a trace. How swiftly a generous man's riches dwindle and die, if he does not evaluate the limits of his means. -Tirukkural 48: 479-480 With Love Shankaree With Mail you can get a bigger mailbox -- choose a size that fits your needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
