 KABIR ON BEGGING
Sharm Aati Hai Ki Iss Shehar Mein Hum Hain Ki Jahaan
Naa Mile Bheekh To Laakhon Kaa Guzaara Hi Naa Ho.
----------Zindagi Yeh To Nahin Tujh Ko Sanvaara Hi Naa Ho.
( Urdu  Poet Jaan Nissar Akhtar  on Begging In Mumbai )
Begging kills the initiative . It closes the external world of hope and Flight. Who is not pained to see men , women , Children , young and old begging to the point of Nuisance ? Inspite of his compassion and humane philosophical beliefs , Kabir was totally against begging . He felt it brings shame. According to him, men should strive to earn honest livelihood wherever they are instead of resorting to the disgraceful act of begging..

Maangan Maran Samaan hai – Mat koyee Maange Bheekh
Maangan Se marnaa Bhalaa Yeh Satguru ki Seekh.
( Kabir )


Begging is nothing but Death. Lord ! Never put anyone on this path.
“:Better die than beg ”, So says the master to his disciples .
