Giving to the poor is true charity. Giving to the rich, giving to friends, giving to officials are all like investments made expecting some return or benefit in future. 'Kuri edhirppai' means expecting a specific return; 'neerathu' means having that nature. So he says they have the nature of a loan.\n\nWhy is giving to the poor alone true charity? Because we have nothing to get back from the poor. They cannot give us money, position or influence. When we give to them we can expect nothing. So that gift is pure. Giving without expectation is eekai.\n\nThis does not say that giving to the rich is wrong. Gifts to friends and relatives are natural expressions of love, and good too. But they do not come under the lofty dharma called eekai; they are exchange, relationship and courtesy. Eekai is distinct: giving to the needy, to those who cannot repay.\n\nIn daily life there is a simple question to test this: \"Will I get anything back for this gift?\" If yes, it is trade; if no, it is eekai. Giving without even expecting thanks or praise is a still purer charity.\n\nThis verse states the essence of charity in one line. When we follow it in life, our giving brings peace to our own mind and help to others.","story_title_ta":"\u0b86\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd

A woman named Alamelu lived in a small house in that town. Her husband was a simple teacher. They had few comforts; but at Alamelu's doorstep there was a custom. Every day at noon she would take a share of the cooked rice in the house and keep it aside to give to whichever hungry person came by that day. She never asked who came.\n\nIn the house opposite lived a rich woman named Kamakshi. She too gave charity. But behind her gifts was an expectation. If she gave a large donation to the temple her name had to be inscribed on the stone. If she feasted the town's officials and the wealthy, they had to help her family. She sought support in the village election. Her giving was in truth an investment.\n\nOne day the two women met in the temple hall. Kamakshi asked Alamelu, \"What wealth have you that you give rice every day? What will those you give to do for you?\" Alamelu smiled. \"They can do nothing for me, sister. That is why my mind is at peace. I keep no account with anyone for what I give,\" she said.\n\nSome years passed. Kamakshi's husband suffered a heavy loss in trade. The elders who received donations did not come to help. The officials who attended her feasts forgot. At that time the poor people who had taken rice from Alamelu's house gathered, heard of the family's distress and brought food and comfort. Alamelu had never expected anything from those she gave to; yet they came of their own accord and helped.\n\nThe one who gave as a loan did not get her return at the right time; the one who gave without expectation received love unexpectedly. Alamelu's life simply illustrated the truth of the verse.","reflection_ta":"\u0ba8\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb5\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bca\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0bae\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0ba4\u0bbe?","reflection_en":"Is there a hidden expectation behind each gift I give?","image_prompt":"A kind housewife in a Tamil temple town handing a banana-leaf of rice to a hungry traveller at her doorstep, a rich neighbour peering from her veranda with a ledger, the temple gopuram and a brass pot in warm afternoon light, warm palm-leaf manuscript and Tanjore-painting inspired style, ivory, ochre, copper and deep teal palette, ornate gold border, no text or letters in the image."},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/verse"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/423\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2383,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/423\/revisions\/2383"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/adhigaram\/92"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=423"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=423"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=423"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=423"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
