He walked to meet Buddha. Where Buddha was present, there was a very long queue, so that beggar also got in the queue. He started waiting in line to get his chance. His turn came and he reached near Buddha. He said to the Buddha, "Buddha I am very poor, I have nothing, I have to beg others. Now tell me that how can I live my life and how can I do it better"?
On hearing all this Buddha replied to him, "You are not poor, you think so because till date you have never done anything for anyone; neither have you ever donated anything to anyone nor have you done anything for others." Hearing all this, the beggar was in dilemma. To alleviate her confusion, the beggar asked, "I am a beggar, how can I give to others and help people? I have to ask others to run my own life."
After hearing all this, Gautam Buddha paused and said to him, "You have a hand in helping people and doing good to others, and you have a mouth so that you say good things and encourage others." You can help others by doing all this. Donations do not need to be made only of money. We can also provide education if we wish. If God gave the man a beautiful body, he is not poor. He is simply poor in mind. He must get away from this thought and serve others. After listening to all of Buddha's items, the beggar was overjoyed and his mind was satisfied.
