Why do you give?

Give, not to people who can give back to you; not to people who will become subservient in their honest efforts to show gratitude. And not to sycophants, men whose tongue can't taste their heart.

Give to people who will think you an angel because they'll never see you again. Give to someone who will feel divinity in your act and call it that singular deed a miracle. They don't see you, they see the love.

Though it is rare for man to truly help another without helping his own interest(s). But giving can only be true when we give out virtue and expect nothing.

Be wary of them who, though may not expect money for their money: they ride on the wings of adulation; their reward is indeed paid in praise, and nothing more.

Besides worship, what can man of dust give to God who enriches man to give to his fellows? How do you call it giving when you are only building a mansion for your self in heaven? What if there is no heaven, wouldn't you still be kind to others?

There was once a secret benefactor whose beneficiaries did not, he made their lives worth a living; he received no bows, he got no adulations, expected nothing from God other than be grateful for the privilege of being a keeper, and he never ever prayed for heaven.
