Why should one donate to the poor?
Questioner: In order to attain peace of mind, should we serve those who are poor, those who are weak, or should we worship God or should we give a donation to someone? What should we do?
Dadashri: If you want peace of mind, then you should feed others what belongs to you. Bring a large container of ice cream tomorrow and feed all these people. Then tell me how much happiness you feel at that time. These people don’t want to eat ice cream. But just try doing this for your own peace. These people aren’t eager to eat ice cream in winter. Similarly, if there are any animals around you, if you throw roasted chickpeas to monkeys, they will delightedly jump up and down, and at that time, your happiness will have no bounds. They will go on eating and your happiness will have no bounds. These pigeons jump about even before you give them grains. And when you give it to them, you are giving away something of your own, so happiness begins to arise within. Suppose a person takes a fall on the road and breaks his leg and there is blood gushing forth; if you tear off a piece of your garment and bandage his leg, then you will feel happiness at that time. It doesn’t matter whether your garment was costly; if you tear it and bandage his leg, then you will feel tremendous happiness at that time.
