SGR135

Objective of charity is to root out evil that crops up in a person's mind due to one's inability to meet the basic essential demands of life. Result expected out of the efforts of charity is removal of malice and hatred in a society that has cropped up due to the inability of people to meet even the essential requirement to stay alive.

Desires must be quenched out of one's own efforts; never through the charity of another person. The reason being, desires can never be quenched by satisfying them. It is similar to pouring fuel on fire to extinguish it. Sheer stupidity. A clear understanding and proper focus is essential before commencing any act in the good of the society - termed charity.

Charity - Help them stay alive. Full stop. Let them satisfy their desires out of their efforts. This is real assistance. Basic essential need of humans - Food, Clothing, Shelter - to stay alive. Provide directly. Any other desire, assist indirectly. When desires are quenched out of one's own efforts, they are elevated psychologically in the first place; else they keep looking at others.

Charity begins at one's own mortal frame. Minimise wants. Lead a life as simple as possible with minimal material comfort. Minimise dependence on money for peace of mind. The focus of charity must be on life sustenance factors and never desires. Providing food directly would save one's life; granting elasticity that one may learn how to earn a living.

Death is inevitable. Sufferings of a person is based on one's accumulated Karma. The objective of body is to exhaust Karma. Hence sustenance of body is essential. When charity focuses on this, this alone; makes sense. Providing medical aid as effort of charity is reasonable for the body is incapable of self effort due to affliction of disease; hence justified.
