Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Ohm! Sivasaravanabava ! I understand the above explanation in the following way. Am I correct ?? One should give anything in charity, with the realization that the Almighty is present everywhere, in you who is giving charity & in the person receiving charity etc. If the charity is given thinking that “ I “ am doing this, then one gets “Punya” & rebirth becomes unavoidable to enjoy the benefit. Hence, the charity should be performed meditating on the Lotus Feet of the Lord Murugan, clearly realizing that He only makes us do everything & everything belongs to Him. Then there is no accumulation of Punya to ger rebirth to enjoy the benefits. ---V.
