Question: Do philanthropists have a soul [1]?
Answer: Philanthropists do not have a soul, none of the common people do. About 10% of humanity have a natural inclination to be altruists and share with others. They receive pleasure from giving and do so.
Question: How do they differ from those who have attained their soul, i.e., those who truly bestow?
Answer: The soul is part of our desire to receive, to enjoy, which is corrected so that it bestows to others. Philanthropists have not corrected themselves and don’t have a soul. They fulfill the desire inherent in their ego—to receive pleasure from giving to others. However, this isn’t considered a desire to bestow [2]. It is the same egoistic desire to receive and enjoy. After all, they behave that way since they feel pleasure in doing so.
