Noble Words : Education, supreme form of charity!

Many people imvolves in charity because they genuinely want to bring a difference in the lives of others and contribute to positive social change. They do charitable act in different ways, it may be in the form of financial help, or providing foods or various other ways. However pur ancient Sanskrit transcripts gives a different views. It says :

अन्न दानं परं दानं विद्यादानं अतः परम्

अन्नेन क्षणिका तृप्तिः यावज्जीवंच विद्यया

Anna daanam param daanam vidyaadaanam atah param
annean kshanikaa truptih yaajeevamcha vidyayaa.

Anna = food.
Daan = help rendered to poor and needy persons in cash or kind.
Param = best.
Vidyaa daan = making a person literate and knowledgeable
Atah param = better than the best, supreme.
Kshanikaa = momentary. (Kshana is the lowest measure of time in Sanskrit language like a 'second' in English.)
Trupti = satisfaction.
Yaawat = upto
Jeevam = alive
Yaawajjvam = upto the time a person is alive.

i.e. Providing food to poor and needy persons is the best charitable deed, but making people learned by teaching them is the supreme form of charity, because food gives momentary satisfaction whereas knowledge acquired gives satisfaction throughout the life of the person concerned.

By educating someone, allows the person to be self reliant. Educating someone is a powerful form of charity because it empowers individuals, breaks cycles of poverty, and fosters positive societal change. It equips them with the skills and knowledge to make better decisions, contribute to their communities, and improve their lives and the lives of those around them.

Educated individuals are more likely to be active and engaged members of their communities, contributing to their development and progress. Education plays a crucial role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by promoting social, economic, and environmental progress. The benefits of education extend far beyond the individual, impacting families, communities, and society as a whole. Educating someone is a powerful and enduring form of charity that can transform lives and create positive change in society.

Learning is Passion!!
