3 persons on a day, visited the near by Ashram, bowed to the Head of the Ashram and queried on the best way of dealing with one's finances..
The Head smiled and said,
"Suppose I give you some finances, how do you deal with them?"
The 1st person said,
"I spend necessary, give in charity the pre planned percentage and save the remaining!"
The 2nd one said,
"I spend necessary, save necessary and give in charity the remaining!"
The 3rd one said,
"I spend necessary, save necessary, try giving in charity the preplanned percentage if available adding back to savings the left out or give the remaining only to charity!"
The 1st and 2nd persons for a while, couldn't understand what the 3rd person said..
"The 3rd one's way is the right way!"
Said the Head and continued..
"Taking care of self is a tricky thing in our life. You can't deny your self as your self is a fact. So taking care of one's self is the primary duty with a person; taking care of others stands next..
But that should never take one to total selfishness as self elevation too is the duty with human being. And that self elevates when one takes care of his next person in need..
This too is again tricky as allowing every one to take care of himself/herself too should prevail max.
So the decision where to help and where to allow one to help self always remains with the individual and one who does this diligently paying attention every moment has done,
His/her duty on earth in the right way; doubtless!
