दानं
Giving
The gift which is given without thought of recompense,
in the belief that it ought to be made, in a fit place,
at an opportune time and to a deserving person
– such a gift is pure.
– such a gift is pure.
Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 17; Verse 20
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word,
a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
Leo Buscaglia
You give but little when you give of your possessions.
It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
When you start giving, instead of getting, you make a difference.
You can always give a warm smile, a sincere hello, a positive vibe… your attention,
your time, your love, and kindness to those around you.

A few hours of searching on the internet will reveal hundreds more quotes on the subject of giving.
There are certainly many less productive ways to spend your time. And yet, as informative as all the
quoutes you may discover are - they are just words. Good words to be sure, but still just words.
As we find over and over again on this journey in the discovery of that which is at the heart of all our beings, words are merely pointers; indicators of the destination to where we are traveling. If then, words are the pointers - to what are they pointing? They point to that which is beyond words. They point to what you are.
Why is this so? Because what you are is beyond words, beyond description, beyond name.
