Is Giving A Homeless Person $ For Drugs STO?

[Ming the Merciful]

i remember once when i was in the desert getting gas, i saw a couple on the side of the gas station who were clearly roughin' it.... it was really hot, and i had been really enamored by karma yoga and the idea of acting without expectation of anything in return.

so i ended up giving them a $20 bill, and as I gave it to them i let it slip out, "here's some money......... for food or something" gosh!! that haunted me for a good part of the drive

Whenever we do a good deed, it should be done without attachment. Or, I am giving some money to a beggar, it makes me feel good. That is attachment to the act. When you give, do not expect anything in return, (your just reward). That is the true spirit of "Serving Others".

Peace.
