90 Holiness and Cleanliness
Madhusudan could not disregard the humble faith of Jatil. He
appeared before him in the guise of a boy. He said to Jatil, 'Look
my little brother, I'm here. You have nothing to fear now.'
Jatil was very much delighted. Every day his elder Madhusudan
took him to school and he also brought him back to his home after
the school was over.
As they walked together Madhusudan told him many interesting
stories. Jatil was much delighted at that. So Bhagaban can be won
by simplicity.(B) Generosity
Men have many virtues including conscience and intellect. The
constituents of men's humanity are honesty, simplicity, generosity,
nobility, sympathy for other's distress, tolerance for other's views,
good manners etc.
What do we mean by generosity? Generosity means to think all men
equal. A generous man thinks no one as big or small. All persons,
big or small, rich or poor, strong or weak are equal to him. There is
no distinction between the self and other to a generous man. He
considers as his relatives all persons belonging to all religions,
communities and countries. 'Udaracharitanam tu basudhaiba
kutumbokom' - it means, everybody of this earth is a relative of a
generous man. He considers other's misfortune as his own and tries
hard to remove the same. Without generosity one cannot be
religious.
We shall be generous. We shall exercise generosity. It should be
reflected in every sphere of our life and behaviour. You are not hurt
by getting nothing if you are generous.
