In this era, people do help others by sharing some useful
information via social media, out of which very few will share such information
in person, others just ignore. Is it really required to help people who are in
need, how we will come to know if people need our help? How helping others is
beneficiary for us.
HELPING
unknown people
Sometimes when we go on bike, a person asks for drop and
tells that they are in real emergency, and when you give drop and see the
relief expression of that person you will get a smile on your face, that smile
will bring positive approach in your mind.
Helping unknown people are always instant, we will not be
knowing the person next to me requires our help. When we look at the person
struggling and feel like helping them please go ahead and help them. This will
bring smile to you and to that person as well. Smile is something we cannot
purchase but we can always get smile by helping others.
There is a Shubhashita in Sanskrit
परो अपि हितवान् बन्धुः ,बन्धुः अपि अहितः परः ।
अहितः देहजः व्याधिः , हितम् आरण्यम् औषधम् ॥
अहितः देहजः व्याधिः , हितम् आरण्यम् औषधम् ॥
The person with whom we have no relation, but who helps us
in our difficult times is our Real relative/brother. In contrast the person who
may be our relative/brother (With whom we have blood relations) but who always
does bad things for us should not be considered as our relative/brother. Just
like a disease which is in our own body does so much harm to us while the
medicinal plant which grows in forest far off does so much of good to us!
HELPING
FRIENDS
Helping friends are way different from helping unknown
people. Especially when it comes for money. If your friend is asking money from
you, give them only when you have enough money with you and do not expect that
money back. We have few people among us who dedicate their lives for their
friends.
“A friend is need is a friend indeed“. We need
true friends in our LIFE. A true friend is always willing to help us
when we need them. At the same time, it is our responsibility to remain
helpful towards our friends.
HELPING
near ones
Helping near/closed ones are very sensitive. If you are
helping them then we need to make sure that they don’t get to know about it. If
you are helping them in front then first ask them whether they require your
help or not. This plays a very critical role in family.
Helping others will always give you a smile and while helping
please do not be selfish (Don’t tell that I have helped you and you need to
help me now). There is an awesome shubhashita in Sanskrit
पिबन्ति नद्यः स्वयमेव नाम्भः स्वयं न खादन्ति फलानि वृक्षाः ।
नादन्ति सस्यं खलु वारिवाहाः परोपकाराय सतां विभूतयः ॥
The rivers don't drink their own water. The trees don't eat their own fruits. The clouds don't eat the crops to which they give the water. The wealth of the good people ('sajjan') is really only for helping the others(Excellence of good people are for the welfare of others.).
नादन्ति सस्यं खलु वारिवाहाः परोपकाराय सतां विभूतयः ॥
The rivers don't drink their own water. The trees don't eat their own fruits. The clouds don't eat the crops to which they give the water. The wealth of the good people ('sajjan') is really only for helping the others(Excellence of good people are for the welfare of others.).
