 Some medieval era authors state that "dāna" is best done with "shraddha" (faith), which is defined as being in good will, cheerful, welcoming the recipient of the charity and giving without "anasuya" (finding faults in the recipient).These scholars of Hinduism, states Kohler, suggest that charity is most effective when it is done with delight, a sense of "unquestioning hospitality", where the "dāna" ignores the short term weaknesses as well as the circumstances of the recipient and takes a long term view.
