With many people and companies doing charity work and blowing their trumpet for same at highest volume, it is not possible to find someone who does charity selflessly. I happen to meet a man last month at my native place who is doing it because he wants to do it and likes it. Such person don't find mention is the big ads of NGOs we see on media and neither such people are interested in it.
He is a Vaid(doctor in Indian medical science). I have got my two health problems cured from him. I had tried all expensive pathological hospitals for the cure but in vain. This person treated these with jadi-butis. The best part is he will not accept money from me.
When i visited him, i could see lots of poor people coming to him and he would happily treat them for no money. Then how does he feed himself ? For one, if anyone wants to pay him s/he can put the money in front of Lakshmi statue which is in another room. So, how much money anyone gave no one would know. Plus, he has some farms in village which are contracted to someone and gets some money from there. From the same money (plus some donation) he keeps arranging eye camps, blood donation camps.
I see the way he lives, such a simple living. In his house i could not find anything which i can say is bought for comfort. No TV, no vehicle and not even radio. Just a newspaper. He sleeps on floor. Gets up before sunrise and does Yoga for 2 hours.
Such a person will surely be fearless. He goes and fights corrupt officials face to face. The city DC and SP are scared of this fearless soul and listen to him with respect and fear both.
The person carrying the oldest Indian medicine knowledge and serving humanity with this knowledge for no greed, has my all respect. I respect him for his nature and the knowledge which cured my diseases which no pathological doctor in big and small hospitals could cure even after paying so much for their fees and medicines.
In this fast age when society is becoming more westernized, frustrated, loosing inner peace for the want of materialistic gains, we need such great people who keep on doing their good work away from all limelights.
PS - I committed to myself, next time i go to my native i would put money in front of the Lakshmi statue and hope he would not know about it.
