Dealing with Poverty

Suppose Mr. A a beggar lives in your locality. One day he begs for one slice of bread & you happily give him two. Next day he demands for a shirt clothing & you again full heartedly offer him a safari suit. Now what, Mr. A's food search is over (for today) & body is covered (for now); but the mind is unrest as he is worried about the future.He is going through a visionary problem & swinging between present, tomorrow & day after tomorrow. He wants to gain all these himself. But how?
Well the answer is very simple through a respectful job (like you). But what are the perquisites he need for a good job. He need quality education (at lower cost), good social status & all other basic infrastructure. 
He will surely now will not satisfy with just food & clothes. He needs infrastructure from you and the problem arises; as you do not have all such voluminous mammoths.
As a result he will not respect you anymore.
So how to regain that respect or satisfaction?
STOP HIM ON THE FIRST LEVEL
LET HIM BE IN THE QUEST OF FOOD & CLOTH


There is a pyramid of human needs. I read it in the University and our Lecturer too discuss this in the class.
I still remember his words.

Far too many days I return home with pockets and stomacke empty, because I gave and received. A wonderful start into the weekend for you.

@A New Begining thanks alot

@B K Chowla thks Sir, it also shows the importance of teachers in our life

@Mingled Mind hi actually i made the story to cover the long vision. Begging is itself bad. So either one for one or two for one will surely result in the same.thks.

@ ρομπερτ hi how are you? really feel honoured to receive your comment. Nice to hear you come back home may be with empty pockets but i know the receiving is surely incomparable with that. Best wishes for the coming week too.

@ Shraddha thks mam. really overwhelmed by the nice words. Best wishes for your family. I love Krishna. Take care of his gifts.
