Perfect Charity: Charity is of three types: Charity for the body; charity for the mind and charity for the soul. To give food, shelter, clothes and hospitalization is charity for the body. To encourage people to be good to others and to be friendly is charity for the mind. Tod give transcendental knowledge and facilities for the people to be educated in spiritual life is charity for the soul. All three must go together side by side.
We should definitely help the poor by giving what they need to maintain their bodies. But we should not neglect the rich either. They are suffering too.
