The society has more thieves
than beggars.
In a way, beggars are better
than thieves.
They beg but steal not and
get but usurp not.
Mortgaging their ego, they
are begging.
It is easy to steal but hard
to beg.
Give or not, don’t treat beggars
with contempt.
Do treat them at par while
you give them alms.
Feel elated while you offer
them alms.
While giving, dispel their
humiliation.
Lord Buddha too led His life
as a beggar.
