HELPING THE POOR |
|
|
| The ascetic's strength of mind enables
him to bear hunger and out of it arises his power also. But the act of relieving another's
hunger is greater than suffering hunger oneself The suffering of privations is brave, but
it is braver to feel for others and stint yourself to help them.
Fortunate is he who saves men from the devastating curse of hunger, for
he has thereby deposited his possessions in a well-guarded vault.
Have not these men ever experienced the delight of giving? Else,
why are they so hard-hearted and refuse to give and at the end of it all disappear from
earth, leaving behind what they withheld from the needy? |
