Value based thoughts - 25/9/15 :- Karna, the role model of charity:- ( source:- internet - sankar, Chennai)

Once Krishna and Arjuna were having a chat while walking towards a village. Arjuna wanted to know from Krishna why he thought Karna was a role model for all Danas (donations) and not Arjuna himself.

To teach Arjuna a lesson, Krishna came up with a challenge for both!
Krishna turned two mountains beside their path into gold and said “Arjuna, distribute these two mountains of gold among the villagers, but the condition is that you must donate every last bit of gold”.

Arjuna went into the village, and announced in public that he was going to donate gold to every villager, and asked them to gather near the mountain. The villagers sang his praises and Arjuna walked towards the mountain with a huffed up chest. For two continuous days and nights Arjuna digged gold from the mountain and donated to each villager. The mountains did not diminish even a bit. Arjuna called the villagers again to come back in line to get more. This went on for a few more days.

After a while, Arjuna, started feeling exhausted and told Krishna he couldn’t go on any longer without rest.

Krishna called Karna and asked “You must donate every last bit of this mountain, Karna”. Karna called two villagers and said, “You see those two mountains? those two mountains of gold are yours. Do whatever you want to do.” and walked away.

Arjuna sat amazed. Why hadn’t this thought occurred to him? Krishna smiled mischievously and told him “Arjuna, subconsciously, you yourself were attracted to the gold and assumed it was yours. The portions you gave away were limited by your thinking, your mind’s imagination!

The gold meant nothing to Karna. For him the true gift was not the gold but the act of giving in itself. He had no calculations to make, nor was he seeking anything in return by way of acknowledgement or praise. He offered everything with a clear heart and a pure mind. That is the sign of a man already on the path of enlightenment.

To offer of heart with no expectation of return – this is the greatest gift we might ever share.

The way you look at things and the attitude that make the individual! You can make life simple or complex that’s left to you!
