REFLECTION
“tiṇadosāni khettāni, icchādosā ayaṃ pajā;
  tasmā hi vigaticchesu, dinnaṃ hoti mahapphalaṃ.”

“Fields are damaged by weeds; mankind is damaged by desires,
  Therefore, a gift bestowed on those who are free from desires bring great reward.”
                                                                                           – Dhammapada verse 359
