AlOchanaamR^itaM
AlochanaamR^itaMCharity and altruism are often
essentially egoistic in their immediate motive.
They are stirred by the discomfort of the sight of suffering to the
nervous
system or by the pleasurableness of others' appreciation of our
kindliness or by
the egoistic self-appreciation of our own benevolence or by the need of
indulgence in sympathy. There are philanthropists who would be troubled
if the
poor were not always with us, for they would then have no field for
their
charity...
Nor is detailed sympathy and alleviation of particular sufferings the
only help
that can be given to men. To cut down branches of a man's tree of
suffering is
good, but they grow again; to aid him to remove its roots is still more
divine
helpfulness.
- Sri Aurobindo (January 1915, India's Rebirth pp. 112)
pravachanAlu (telugu discourses) by Samavedam Shanmukha Sarma (audio)
This page contains several pravachanams by Sri sAmavedam ShaNmukha Sarma, the
editor of 'Rushipeetham' bhAratIya mAnasa patrika. Please note that I have
absolutely no affiliation with Rushipeetham people. I am just one of their
excited customers. My intention is only to give people a taste of his
pravachanams and persuade people to purchase them from Rushipeetham.
A friend of mine visited the Rushipeetham Audios office at Hyderabad recently.
Apparently, the manager expressed to my friend that he is very upset about my
putting Samavedam's pravachanams online.
In deference to their wishes, I decided to
take offline from my website, some excerpts of his pravachanams that used to be
here.
