Charity: The Joy of Giving and the Power of Compassion
People have strived to help each other since the Ancient East. Doing good deeds and showing kindness was considered a virtuous personality trait cultivated from early childhood years. Mercy and sympathy for those in need formed the basis of most religions and philosophies.
Charity is a joy for the soul. Worrying about what goes beyond one's basic needs testifies to a person's spiritual development. Love and mercy carry the highest vibrations. They lead to a state of happiness and awareness of the divine spark within.
When we feel compassion and need to help, to do something from the heart, and receive gratitude, we feel needed and restored. According to the law of the Universe, the more good we give, the more good we receive in return.
It's best to help in the areas that touch your heart and evoke an inner response. It can be helping sick people, the elderly, orphans, rescue animals, people with disabilities, or those in trouble.
You can find out what areas of life are the least prosperous in your country and help solve pressing issues according to your abilities. You can also pay attention to global problems: preserving forests, saving endangered species, fighting diseases, and helping people in underdeveloped countries.
Charity is one of the most effective Upayas, which are ways to harmonize karma. If you know the position of the planets in your natal chart, you can donate to those areas and on those days for which a particular planet is responsible.
For example, to harmonize the Moon, it's favorable to help women and treat those who are in need on Mondays. To harmonize Mars, it's best to donate to medical institutions. With afflicted Venus, it's best to do charity work on Fridays.
There are many ways to do charity: donating money, preparing food, helping with repairs, cleaning or transportation, donating necessary things, spreading information, and sharing attention, care, and energy.
