Karna's Generosity
迦爾納的慷慨
One day while Shri Krishna and Arjuna were out for stroll, Arjuna said, 「If you permit. Can i ask you something?」
一天，當克裡希納和阿朱納出去散步時，阿朱納說:「如果可以，我能問你一件事嗎?」
Krishna smiled and replied, 「Sure, you can ask me anything without any hesitation.」
克裡希納微笑著回答說:「當然，你可以毫不猶豫地問我任何問題。」
Arjuna said, 「I don't understand why Karna is considered as most generous person of all. 」
阿朱納說:「我不明白為什麼迦爾納被認為是所有人中最慷慨的那個人。」
Krishna smiled and replied, 「Sure, i won't just tell you. You can see for yourself.」
克裡希納微笑著答道:「當然，我不會只是告訴你。你可以親眼看看。」
Just then in a blink, Shri Krishna turned two nearest hills into gold.
眨眼間，克裡希納在把臨近的兩個山丘都變成了金子。
After this Krishna instructed Arjuna to distribute gold from that hills among people from nearest village.
然後克裡希納指示阿朱納把山上的金子分發給最近村莊的村民。
As instructed Arjuna immediately went to hill and called villagers to distribute gold to them. When villagers came, he asked them to stand in queue and then started giving away gold to them one by one.
按照指示，阿朱納立刻跑向金山，並叫來了村民們，讓他們排好隊，然後逐個分發黃金。
Villagers started praising him. Listening to all the praise, Arjuna felt proud. By this time Ego has started to get into him.
村民們開始稱讚他。聽到這些讚美聲，阿朱納感到很自豪，漸漸變得自負起來。
For two consecutive days and nights Arjuna kept on digging gold and distributing among villagers. Villagers were coming back in queue for gold, Arjuna was tired and not a bit of gold lessen from hill.
隨後兩晝夜阿朱納不停地挖金子，分發給村民們。村民們排著隊來取金子，阿朱娜累了，而山上金子一點也沒變少。
Arjuna got so tired that he went to Shri Krishna and said, 「I am tired, i can't do it anymore.」
阿朱納覺得太累了，走到克裡希納跟前說:「我累了，撐不下去了。」
Krishna smiled and replied, 「It's Ok. You can rest.」
克裡希納微笑著回答說:「沒關係的，你可以休息休息。」
Krishna called Karna and asked him to distribute gold among villagers from those hills of gold. Karna immediately left to distribute gold among villagers.
克裡希納叫來迦爾納，要他把山上的金子分發給村民們。迦爾納立刻就去給村民們分發黃金了。
He called all villagers and after everyone was gathered, Karna announced, 「This gold belong to you. You may take as per your requirement.」
他把所有的村民都召集起來，並宣布:「這些金子都是你們的，你們可以按需索取。」
After saying this Karna left. Arjuna was surprised and confused. Krishna understood.
說完這話，迦爾納就離開了。阿朱納既驚訝又困惑，克裡希納卻心中有數。
Krishna said to Arjuna, 「When you were asked to distribute gold, you were deciding about requirement of each villagers need of gold. You were doing it knowing that it's charity.
克裡希納對阿朱納說:「當你派發黃金時，你是在決定著每個村民對黃金的需求量。你這麼做是因為你把它當成了慈善。
Whereas Karna just gave away all the gold and left. He didn't even waited for people to praise or cheer him. He was not interested in what people will say about him. It's sign of a man who had become enlightened.」
而迦爾納一散千金，甚至不去等待人們的讚揚或歡呼就走了，因為他對人們如何評價並不在意。這是一個人開悟的象徵。」
Arjuna's question was answered to him in beautiful manner.
迦爾納完美詮釋了阿朱納當初的問題，誰是最慷慨的人？
Moral:
Expecting Gratitude or Congratulations In return of doing charity or help will just turn it into a deal. If We are Giving some Help or Donation we should do it without any Hope for anything in Return.
寓意:
做慈善或幫助別人，但卻期待別人以感激或讚揚作為回報，這只會讓事情變成一筆交易。假如我們給予他人幫助或捐助的時候，我們應當做到不期回報。
本文源自古代印度的敘事詩的一段故事，就當做是印度的諸神傳說吧，了解起來也費時費力，因此也不必糾結人物關係和前因後果，知道其中的道理就可以了。
道理所闡述的價值觀其實也很簡單，就是做好事不圖回報，做慈善不應該像做買賣一樣，否則就變質了。
幫那些真正困難的人就純粹一些，一來人家沒有物質上的回饋，不可能禮尚往來；二來獲得精神上的褒獎自然是好，但不是理所應當。此事強求不來，需要保持一顆平常心，佛系的心。你說是吧？
