As we sow, so shall we reap. Rich or poor, saint or sinner, miser or philanthropist, learned or illiterate ... This is the Universal Law that applies to individuals, to whole communities, societies, nations and races. As we sow, so shall we reap.

  Dada Vaswani

And they naturally overflow in this love. So instead of being love beggars, they become love philanthropists.
