Precious Coin and Generosity

Mahatma Gandhi was on an expedition to collect funds from various cities and villages for Charkha
Sangh. He went to several palaces and reached Orissa. He had organised a meeting in Orissa.
He requested to o!er funds for the Sangh and gave a speech. After the speech, a very old woman with
bent back, faltered clothing, white hair, dry and shrunk skin got up. She was trying to reach the stage
and requested the volunteers to allow her to reach Gandhi Ji. However, the volunteers stopped her,
yet she fought with them and reached Gandhi Ji.
She touched the feet of Gandhi Ji. Then she took out a copper coin kept in her folds of saree and
placed the copper coin at his feet. The old lady left the stage.
Gandhi Ji very carefully took the coin and placed it safely. The in-charge of the Sangh asked Gandhi Ji
for the copper coins, but he refused to give it.
I keep cheques worth thousands of rupees for the Charkha Sangh, the in-charge said laughingly yet

you wont trust me with a copper coin.

Gandhi Ji said, This copper coin is worth much more than those thousands Gandhi Ji said. If a man has several lakhs and he

gives away a thousand or two, it doesnt mean much.

Yes, the coin was just the only thing that the poor old woman possessed. She did not even have proper clothes and seemed
that she could not a!ord for good food, still gave everything she had. It was the greatest o!er ever made. That is why Mahatma
held the coin very preciously.
We may have tons of wealth, but that doesnt make us generous. O!
O !ering helping hand when we have nothing or
