The Scriptures place great importance to giving or Dhaana .
Dhaana is a sacred ritual sanctified by the ceremonial pouring of water over the hands ...
There are nine important points to keep in mind .
1. Give with the heart not with the head ...
do not analyse it too much .
2. Give with Joy , not reluctantly .
3. Give only that is useful to the other person , not junk .
4. Give without expecting anything in return , there should be no expectation of returns or quid pro quo .
5. Give with humility love and compassion , not with pride or arrogance .
There is a story of a famous donor who would only give anonymously as far as possible , and even if he were face to face , he would not look at the face of the donee , only at his feet ..
when asked why , he said ... I do not wish to embarass the receiver ....
6. give in proportion to your capacity ...
a 100 rupee gift by a person who earns a 1000 rupees is greater than a 1000 rupees given bya millionaire .
after your taxes , loan dues and savings , give at least 10% of your income .
7. Give unconditionally , not with numerous strings attached .
8. Give to the deserving , not to the undeserving.
there is no point conducting a function at a temple and feeding your already overfed relatives and friends ..
feed the hungry instead .
9. and finally , do not flaunt or boast about having given .
like those who paint their names on tubelights donated to temples cutting off half their light .
