Poverty and Spirituality
Sri Sri: There is a saying that one cannot sing bhajans on a hungry, starved stomach. But my experience is completely opposite. If you give food, clothing, shelter to a poor man, it will be over within no time. If you give him spirituality, then the self-esteem starts coming in him. He wants
to be self-sufficient then. He gets energy to do something from inside. He starts running then, starts thinking, he gets enthusiasm to do
something. In life, if anything can give you enthusiasm, its spirituality and spirituality only. So the person stands on his own feet, starts
taking responsibility and it goes on. This is my experience. And if the spirituality enters a rich person’s life, then he becomes more generous.)
The rich people do social service and the poor people become more self-confident, entrepreneurs. So in both ways its beneficiary. J
Jai Gurudev
