The Poverty In This Society

We were talking about viveka. In the course which didi Rudranii gave us a talk on. Dada Suresh made a comment on the poor people because of their karma had done before. Because of their samsakara, poor people are poor Today. It is true what they have done before so they suffer poverty in this life. Maybe they do not give away or help poor people in their past life. That's actually how they need to learn something in this life span. But for a person, especially, as a Sadhaka, who has compassion should not think this way, not even a moment to think this way. Poverty in anywhere is the duty of a society. It is a duty for everyone to get rid of the poverty everywhere. For us, Ananda Margii, we should think of solution. God gave more rich to a rich man after his prayer for more money. But God took away the old lady's cow which it was the only thing this old lady left in this world. The old lady asked she could concentred on God more and more. God responded by taking away her only cow, and also, the only food she could get daily. Now, no more milk. How could she survive? Amazingly, she was thankful God for taking her cow away. She did not think of her food. She thought,now,she could think of God with fully mind. For a Sadhaka who can see God is very very important. Remembered what Jesus said on the cross when he could not see God for a short moment because Jesus took away our sin on his shoulder. Because of sin, he could not see God. Remembered Ramakrisna, the moment he could not see God, he polished his cheek on the surface of sand. See how much pain they had suffered with.
