जाड्यं धियो हरति सिंचति वाचि सत्यं !
मानोन्नतिं दिशति पापमपा करोति !!
चन्दनं शीतलं लोके,चन्दनादपि चन्द्रमाः !
चन्द्रचन्दनयोर्मध्ये शीतला साधुसंगतिः !!
जानीयात्प्रेषणेभृत्यान् बान्धवान्व्यसनाऽऽगमे।
मित्रं याऽऽपत्तिकालेषु भार्यां च विभवक्षये ॥
Friendship of a friend is tested in our bad times, the warrior’s heroism is tested in a war, a servant’s test lies in his good attitude towards the owner and a donor’s test is at the time of drought.
The point explained here is that the person who donates wealth/food even at the time of a drought, i.e. at the times when the food is a scarcity, is a real donor.
If we do not live up to our expectations at the tough times then there is no use of what we stand for..
