Many times we identify the word 'to give' with 'charity', although this delivers profound respite to us in many ways, but this is not all. If you own a fortune, or even if you are able to only part with a meagre amount of wealth for the needy, you are still doing great job. But one thing must be crystal clear to you every time you participate in the 'Act of giving', you must only do it 'unconditionally'. This means that you must give with a heart that does not expect in anything return.
