Today's Subhashita.

अति साहसमतिदुष्करमत्याश्चर्यं  च दानमर्थानाम्  |
योऽपि  ददाति शरीरं  न  ददाति  स वित्तलेशमपि   ||
                   -   प्रसार सारावली (सुभाषितरत्नाकर )

भावार्थ  -    समाज की सेवा  और उन्नति के लिये धन संपत्ति  का
दान करना एक अत्यन्त कठिन, साहसिक तथा  प्रशंसनीय कार्य है |  
परन्तु  कुछ  (लोभी और कंजूस)  व्यक्ति चाहे अपनी जान  दे  देंगे
लेकिन अपनी संपत्ति का लेशमात्र अंश भी दान नहीं करते  हैं |

Ati-sahasam-ati-dushkaram-ati-aascharyam
cha daanam-arthaanaam.
Yopi dadaati shareeram na dadaati sa vitta-lesham-api

Ati = too much.    Saahasam = adventurous.   Dushkaram =
arduous.    Ashcharyam = wonderful .  Daanam =
donation, giving as charity.   Arthaanaam = wealth, money.
Yo = whosoever.   Dadaaati = gives/   Shareeram = body.
vittam  = money.    lesham = a little.   Api even.

i.e.     Giving away  wealth as charity for social  purposes is a
very arduous,difficult  and a wonderful act.    But some people
( misers and greedy persons)will rather give up their life  but
will not spare even a very little portion of their wealth as charity.
