AlOchanaamR^itaM
Charity 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)

First source:
BramhaSri Malladi Chandra Sekhara Satri gave excellent talks on Bhagavatam,
Ramayanam, Mahabharatam and Kartika Puranam at Sankara Matt, Hyderabad. He
was their Asthana Kavi and retired at the age of 70 (after 50 years of
excellent service to community by doing research and conveying the
information in the form of Pravachanamulu). Each purana is for 9 days
spanning 10+ hours of talk. Also Sankara Mutt made it very economical.
