The hand was made to give always.
The lowest man is he whose hand draws in receiving; and he is the highest man whose hand goes out in giving.
There is no higher virtue than charity.
You have the power to give. Give, and there it ends.
Ask nothing; want nothing in return. Give what you have to give, it will come back to you - but do not think of that now. It will come back multiplied - a thousand fold - but the attention must not be on that.
If a man's wants can be removed for an hour, it is helping him indeed; if his wants can be removed for a year, it will be more help to him; but if his wants can be removed for ever, it is surely the greatest help that can be given him.
Helping others physically, by removing their physical needs, is indeed great, but the help is great according as the need is greater and according as the help is far reaching.
As long as there is a "cask" at all, we must think through material means. No impatient one can ever succeed.
We are all on the way to become the cask of glass and even higher and higher reflections.
