When he gives ( unconditionally and without any selfishness ( in scoops and heaps) ), he becomes a king (philanthropist),
Just like a banana tree ( whose every part is useful – signifying ultimate sacrifice) , one could sacrifice for good of people and be remembered as a great human,
he could spread light ( all goodness and positive energy) , like the wax in the candle that melts itself to spread light.

all the hearts ( people) who lived for the welfare of the society and people , may become (noble) statues ( as a mark of respect),

If you have the heart then even in a bird’s nest you can accommodate a deer , ( emphasizing that you are never too small to help , its all in the mindset),
if you have the vision/can see the path , then even in a grain of mustard ( something so small) you can envision a mountain ( something big) ( means that even in/with small thing , you can achieve great heights),

if you dare, then you can carry any amount of burden on your head ,
such a virtue or trait , will be considered equivalent to a temple
