God once asked his faithful servants
a perplexing question:
*“Who will lend me a Beautiful Loan
Which I will double
And multiply many times?”*

The servants looked hither and thither
and at each other in puzzlement:
*“What could we possibly lend to The Creator
Of mankind and of the unseen
Of the Earth and of the Heavens
And everything in between?”*

But one among them wept in tranquil delight
For he understood what was being asked:
*It is the act of giving without expectation
From ones material wealth,
From ones precious time,
From ones accrued knowledge,
To alleviate the suffering of others*.
