preparing khichdee (A Gujarati dish made of rice and lentils).
To prepare khichdee, you need many ingredients, such as, rice,
lentils, spices, vegetables, water, a pan, fuel, a stove etc. Only

there is no taker of Moksha. What is the definition of a ‘giver’?
If you give something that belongs to you, then you are called
