Dana is a dharma action followed in every yuga as it prevents selfishness, ignorance and helps other beings to live very peacefully.
But, the Dana which helps society can also bring problems to it if Dana is given to anyone without contemplating what Dana we are giving and to whom.

Example  :

• Giving money to a lazy person will make him lazier.
• Assume he has a powerful weapon(nuclear bomb) and giving dana to any terrorist will cause destruction.
• Giving knowledge of yogic powers to an ignorant man will cause only problem to society.
