Charity - An Essential Ingredient For Earning Cash Online !
Some thoughts on the impact of Charity © 2002 C.J.L.J.Rao
Many of us spend most of our time thinking on tactics and
strategies to increase our earnings or income online. But, we
don't spend the same amount of time thinking of giving portions
of our earnings to the poor and needy.

The Etiquette of Tithing
I once had a conversation with a subscriber about making a
mental shift in how we view tithes. Many people (and I've done
it myself!) view tithes as a handout or some sort of charity,
which we view negatively, as if needing something is a bad
thing. We all have needs, we all have desires. By judging our
needs as "bad" we subconsciously block our prosperity in subtle
ways.
Likewise we don't quite know what to do if someone refuses a
tithe from us, or tithes back to us. This issue, rather ...

Charity and sacrifice - Why and How ?
Hands that give are holier Than the lips that pray.
By undertaking pilgrimage to holy places and participating in 'Satsangas' (congregations) one leads towards charity, individually, combined or by some other way which is very much desired for the needy and down-trodden for their upliftment. Pilgrimage without imbibing virtues will remain and mean only some distance covered and journey undertaken without purpose. No doubt holy places give refuge to the weary souls, make us humble and help in ...

The Gift is in the Giving
I have to be honest. I made the woman cashier at BIG! LOTS cry.
