After long hours of study, going through and understanding holy books like Mahabharata, Upanishads, Purans and Ramayana , saints have preached the conclusion that helping poor, patients , injured , needy and illiterate people in any which way possible is the best thing one can possibly do. But humans are so indulged in the practicality of life, the future of their siblings they tend to overlook people who are not as fortunate as they are. If we don’t have feelings of mercy, kindness, a soft corner in our heart for these people then all our education, capital stature has no value.
Not helping others in the maximum possible manner is disrespect to GOD present within us. Going through one of the religious books I found out this line which is supposed to be said by GOD in his earthly birth –“My only wish is that sufferings of the poor lessens”. The point is that we should understand our duty towards poor. Before feeding ourselves we should think about them and we should try and help them wholeheartedly. If we are not blessed enough to help them then we should at least pray for their safety and well being.
A nation or a state cannot progress if there is poverty, lack of food, illiteracy spread either sporadically or epidemically. We can’t turn ourselves away from the poor just by saying that it is their fate they should suffer. This is best way we can enjoy the blessings of GOD.
