Giving....a divine art....

Did India supply masks,sanitizers to Serbia? Questions raised few days back. Unprecedented time as it is for one and all,all countries are struggling at the same space,time and manner... A thought comes to my mind...." what can be more inspiring than this to stand with each other?". However powerful we think we are,how intelligent or intellectual may be our acumen,how wealthy or articulate we may seem or project,a time comes in our lives,we need someone else's shoulder to lean on and someone else's back to carry us. Universal truth as it is,it is just the time when we need and when we give...Hydroxychloroquin ... Should India export or not?.... There will be views and counter views,debates and deliberations, intellectual thinking and scientific calculation... Let there be,no problem...But to my small little mind it comes, at the end we all are a big family in the world,just divided by man made boundaries and borders.... What can be more fulfilling, inspiring and motivating than us standing with the world in the crisis,a powerful country like America,a sportive country like Brazil will not ask for a small help even in extraordinary times, leave ordinary... India is fortunate to be in a stage to help,to serve,to stand by,to share the burden... God is kind to our great nation, though we don't know what's tomorrow,but let's look at today. If today India can help anyone,do something,it must do. Not with any desire for money,reciprocation,fear or any recognition,but just to share its little things,the thought,just to offer a shoulder to someone somewhere who needs it more than we do. History is rich with examples of people offering everything even lives without a second thought... Gopabandhu left his ailing son to distribute food to the flood affected, Soldiers lay their lives on border every other day,knowing well this may get great unprecedented tragedy to their family, doctors treat inumerable infected patients and don't deny even if they are in risk... So if today our Hydroxychloroquin or masks can save some souls in America or Italy or Brazil and Canada,or our masks and PPEs can protect some brethren doctors in Serbia,it is something to feel good and feel blessed about... Everyday we are not blessed to do that. It is not wealth or material gain to be given.... "weactually give , when we give from ourselves"... Our time,our prayers and our essentials, however less it may be... It takes heart to do so and it writes history. Tough time will pass,but our deeds will allow us to live on this Earth . If we think little deeper, even Krishna said.." what did we come  here with? nothing is ours, even we ourselves are not ours"...so what can we give?  We don't even have control over our next breath... Leave aside giving it to someone... So whatever we have, bestowed upon us by divine,let's share the fortune,offer a shoulder,wipe a tear .... For someone, somewhere... Divine will take care of us,our tomorrows.... Who is more generous and kind than He is!
