There cannot be a cause without an effect, the present must have had its cause in the past and will have its effect in the future.
Swami VivekanandaThose who are acquainted with the literature of India will remember a beautiful old story about this extreme charity, how a whole family, as related in the Mahรขbhรขrata, starved themselves to death and gave their last meal to a beggar. This is not an exaggeration, for such things still happen.
Swami Vivekananda
