Bheema's smile (as heard from Sri Garikapati garu) -
One day a Brahman asks Dharma Raja for daanam, but Dharma raja just finishing a big daanam campaign and feels very tired. He asks the Brahman to come next day and assures him that he gets Daanam appropriately.
Bheema observing the whole episode gives a smile and Dharma Raja noticing Bheema's smile, asks for the reason behind the smile. Bheema says, "Brother, I'm not sure if I would ask Brahman to come tomorrow if I were in your place". Dharma Raja, asks Bheema for the reason behind and Bheema says, I'm not sure if I'll be alive tomorrow and definitely don't want to lose this opportunity to do my job of giving the Brahman who asked for Daanam. If I'm dead by tomorrow, I might have to take rebirth just to fulfill this promise I made to Brahman.
Dharma Raja thanks Bheema, calls for Brahman immediately who's already on his way back home and offers him Daanam.
Moral: Never lose opportunity to give Daanam to some one who is in need. We may not get that opportunity again
Please note: Bheema did not cry as much as Arjuna when his son (Ghatothkacha) died in battle meaning he knows how to be detached while being attached.
