Why should we contribute to Saints and Saintly activities?
Saint is a holy person whose mind is full of purity. He differs from others only because of his mental purity and positive thinking. Saint is human being who attained this quality through several spiritual practices. This condition can be attained by any human being depending upon his craving for spirituality and purity.
Ordinary human beings because of their and desires develop negative qualities. Desires make them acquire more materials, name and power in the society. Although they know that these three things are not going to help them get purity of mind, they are forced to attach to these three because of selfishness. They are also aware through various scriptures and spiritual books that ultimately we have to leave everything to reach God. Knowledgeable persons in the material life are called as Pandits who have studied spiritual scriptures, Upanishads and vedantic philosophy very well but are unable to practice because of their ego. These people called as Acharyas teach the society regarding spiritual and saintly life and the importance of mental purity. Thereby the human society understands the value of a saint, his way of life and the power of mental purity. They respect saints for their mental purity, character and positive qualities because through them only one can reach the God ultimately.
Since saintliness is not a joke and attaining the position of a saint is very difficult for an ordinary person, the society as a whole respects saints for the quality of their life. The society knows more about a saint through various saintly stories as the best human being in the human society. They know that a saint has no attachment towards the material world though they are living in the material world. Saints are the persons who motivate others in their problems and worries and help the society to the maximum because they do not have any selfish motive. The selfless activities of a saint is appreciated by every member of the society and they also know that living with a saint will help them to attain peace as well as material satisfaction. Society never rejects a holy saint because saints are never disturbance to the society but an asset. Ordinary people can gain many benefits from a knowledgeable saintly leader and they have the faith on him because of his mental purity and selflessness.
There are very good persons available in the society as far as their character and positive knowledge is concerned. They know very well that living a saintly life with material detachment is very difficult for an ordinary person. Since they know it is very difficult to have saintly quality and purity inspite of goodness available in the good persons of the society become philanthropists because of the attained knowledge about the scripture and saintly persons.
Saintly persons do not own anything but possess any material for the sake of their living and to server the society. Since they do not have any source of income they are being helped by philanthropists who have understood a saint and his way of life. Mutts and temples are constructed by saints with the help of philanthropists and respectable persons in the society who have great regards for saints and saintly activities. Every saint depends only on the society and the citizens for their worldly life and social activities.
If philanthropists are not there in the society, no saint can live in this world peacefully. People do not steal the materials of a saint because the saint is regarded as a Godly person, and the materials possessed by them belong to God. Saints are the persons who have the wisdom of God as well they know that their living in this material world is temporary and will not try to own any material in their name or possess unwanted materials during their life in this planet. They know that everything has to be left behind in this material world itself before they leave the physical body.
So contributing something to saints is not at all bad because they utilize the material for the human society only since they are selfless. Since ordinary people cannot do saintly activities but can provide some material help to a saint, these ordinary good persons earmark some amount or material towards a saint from their income regularly considering that the contribution to a saint is a part of their expenses.
If everyone in the society considers that the contribution to a saint is primary in the human life which can help the society at large can definitely keep aside an amount from their regular income as donation to a saint. Thereby saints can do more social works, spread peace and harmony across the human society.
NC is a saintly organization led by a qualified saint and associated with saintly people, people who are philanthropists or have regards towards saints and saintly activities can contribute some percentage of their income to NC without affecting much of their regular activities. NC wants to grow further to its spiritual and social activities with the help of the society and cooperation from the good worldly people.
Any human being who contributes to a saint is supporting the God in His activities and the contributor will definitely get back the blessings by God to attain peace and tranquility. What God has given to a material person to live is not belonging to anyone thereby the extra money or material that he possess can be contributed towards any saintly organization including NC and live happily with the presence of God.
