Guest guest Posted November 26, 2002 Report Posted November 26, 2002 Pranam. It is true that one should be generous but we must do so within our limits. There is a saying in Tamil which says " Aatril pottalum alanthu podu" that means to have a limit in all things. That is also the Thirukural's statement. Here is the kural... Prosperous as his life may appear, unless a man measures well his wealth, it will disappear without a trace. How swiftly a generous man's riches dwindle and die, if he does not evaluate the limits of his means. -Tirukkural 48: 479-480 With Love Shankaree With Mail you can get a bigger mailbox -- choose a size that fits your needs Quote
