Children, we should simplify our life’s needs and use the resulting savings for charity.
MATA AMRITANANDAMAYIRemember to set apart at least one hour every day to do some service for others. While the food we eat nurtures our bodies, it is what we give in charity that nurtures our souls. If time is not available daily, reserve at least a few hours every week for some worthwhile act of charity.
