The biggest service to mankind is charity with compassion. One doesn’t have to donate millions; just giving a small amount to the needy, with your whole heart, is just as compassionate.

I say noble is she/he who shares her/his progress for the benefit of the poor and under-privileged. And people like Sudha Murthy, Rajashree Birla, Tata, Godrej, Aziz Premji, Bharti Group, and the Mittals are truly noble. They do not wait to improve the world with their benevolence they just live for it. They believe that joy is not only in making lots of money, but in giving it back to the society. They see the need, not the cause. They spend their life for things that outlast them. They plant trees, under whose shade they never expect to sit; they live simply so that others may enjoy the fruits of their love & compassion. They are “Angels without wings”.

We might not be as forthcoming or as generous as them but let us all pledge to make a humble beginning at philanthropy. Let us make our lives matter; let us not do nothing, just because we can only do very little.

Dare to reach out to others in darkness, so that they are pulled out into the light.
