Newsletter: A unique way of donation
An
Extraordinary Example of Application of Trusteeship Principles
By
Rajnikumar Pandya
A unique way of donation
A young man residing in America happened to read Narayan
Desai's Gujarati volumes on Gandhiji's life titled 'Maaru Jeevan ej Maari
Vaani'. (My Life is My Message). After reading this book he wept all night.
Gandhij's mantra "You are not the owner of your wealth but just a trustee
of that wealth and what is for the good of the whole society is good for
me" touched his heart in such a way that it changed his whole life. He
realised that you experience far greater and lasting pleasure in spending money
for the needy compared to the momentary pleasure and happiness you feel after
spending more than required for your needs. To spread this message of Gandhiji
and publicise these book, he has donated 75 lakh rupees to the Navjeevan Trust.
He, in addition, regularly provides lakhs of rupees to other institutions
undertaking constructive work, all this anonymously without expecting any
publicity in return.
