उत्तिष्ठ Uttishtha
Arise with knowledge from the Gita & Upanishads
Give freely, without expectation, and find the purity of a true gift.
दातव्यमिति यद्दानं दीयतेऽनुपकारिणे । देशे काले च पात्रे च तद्दानं सात्त्विकं स्मृतम् ॥
Bhagavad Gita 17.20
A gift given because it is right to give, to someone who cannot repay, at the right place and time and to the right person, is called a pure gift.
You feel grateful, and that’s good. A gift given freely, without expectation, is pure. Today, consider how you can offer something simply, because it is right to do so.
Offer a small, unexpected kindness to someone, expecting nothing in return.
