Many boast of charity, yet remain bound by ego.
Donations of wealth may soothe, but seldom transform.
Judging others for giving less reveals one’s own smallness.
True charity begins with dissolving ignorance within oneself.
Self-realization uplifts not just one life, but all around.
The greatest gift isn’t gold, but rather awakening to the Gold within.
In that awakening, even creation’s deepest needs are met.
