They give willingly.\n\nGiving does not depend on the size of one's wealth but on the spring within. Even if the surface looks dry, a heart with a spring of kindness never stops giving.\n\nA 'good family' here does not mean a rich one. It means a family where good character has taken root.","story_title_ta":"\u0baa\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bbf","story_ta":"\u0bae\u0b95\u0bbe\u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0b85\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b95 \u0baa\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b85\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bc7\u0ba4 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0b89\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0baa\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bbf \u0b85\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc7 \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u201c\u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf, \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0bb7\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b93\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b8f\u0bb4\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba3\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bbf \u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b88\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bc1\u201d \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1.\n\n\u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9 \u0b95\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b87\u0ba4\u0bc1: \u0baa\u0b9e\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bcd. \u0bb5\u0baf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0baf\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bca\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b93\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba3\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0baa\u0bb2 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0b9e\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbe\u0b95\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3 \u0b85\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba3\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9a\u0bbf \u0ba4\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8. \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bbf \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd;

When Yudhishthira's horse sacrifice was over, a mongoose with one half of its body golden came and rolled on the ground there. Then it said, 'This sacrifice does not equal a handful of flour given by a poor brahmin of Kurukshetra.'\n\nThis was its story. There was a famine. A brahmin family that lived by gleaning grain left in the fields got a little barley flour after days of hunger and divided it into four shares. As they sat down to eat, a hungry guest arrived. The brahmin gave his share, but the guest was still hungry. His wife gave hers, then their son, then their daughter-in-law. Not one of them said 'no'.\n\nThe guest revealed himself as Dharma and blessed them. The mongoose rolled in the flour that had spilled there, and half its body turned to gold. Hoping the other half would turn golden too, it went from sacrifice to sacrifice rolling on the ground, but it never happened again.\n\nLike the spring under a dry riverbed, that family's giving did not dry up even in poverty.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b8f\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bbe? \u0b85\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1?","reflection_en":"Do you remember giving something at a time when you had little yourself?
