Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 17
A gift of food, water, clothes and medicines should be made to a needy recipient, without much thinking, whether he is worthy or unworthy, and whether the place and time, are auspicious or not. Offer food, to a hungry man, water, to a thirsty person, clothes to the naked and medicines to the sick. Similarly, the net of freeing a man from fear and torture etc., is a gift of fearlessness, which should be made. These gifts, are to be made, according to the need of the moment. In this chapter from the eleventh to the twenty-second verses, the sattvika sacrifice, penance and gift, are included in divine nature,while the rajasika and tamasika, are included in demoniac nature.
