Guest guest Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 God is not poor and hence, people created by Him cannot also be poor. It is people who makes beggars out of his fellowmen and ill-treats them. Such low and mean practices should be given up. Some people think that Lord Venkateswara is in need of money. They think He would do their work and fulfil their desires for the sake of money. In this manner, they bring Him down to the level of a beggar. It is a grave mistake. God is not a beggar. You should consider Him as your father and mother. Cultivate love for God and your fellowmen. Extend help to those who are in distress. Develop love for God and fear of sin. Just because someone approaches you for help, do not consider him to be weak and inferior. It is a great mistake to think that you are the giver and someone else is the beneficiary. - From Swami's 2004 Vijayadasami Divine Discourse.
