Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 SAI's MISSION and PHILOSOPHY of CHARITY 1. When 'All’ wealth is turned into Ashes by a burning INFERNO, When ‘All’ our NEAR and DEAR Desert us, When we are ABHORED, AVOIDED, HATED and Driven away; When Nothing to shield and shelter, Body and shame., When Desolation haunts the Body and Despair Nags the Mind; If THOU wert then Ignore me; to whom shall I look and where shall I go? Tell us, O! THE GREAT GIVER O! THE SAl of SHIRIDI., 2. When comforts and Luxuries, wealth and Riches, Ensure Happiness When food and Clothing are Abundant, When Mirth and Joys Galore., When Health and Home are HAVEN Sans cares and sorrows., When miseries and sufferings do not dog Body and mind., Unmindful then to rescue even ONE, from Hunger and want., How then shall anyone become Entitled to Enter the portals of Heaven ? Tell us, O! THE GREAT GIVER O! THE SAl of SHIRIDI., 3. "CONTENT” we can NEVER Make ANYONE, By Bequeathing ALL the WEALTH of the WORLD., EVEN with the Costliest of Luxuries and cosiest of comforts., White wallowing in RICHES, Marrow's Wealth Torments., Saying "Just-for-one" next for two, at the End atleast for SEVEN Generations Amassing LEGACY becomes a pleasing PASTIME., Uncaring for SINS, Unmindful of ULTIMATE RESULTS, Burying PIETY and PEACE seven FATHOMS Deep, SICKNESS Gnawing the BODY, MIND and INTELLECT; Other than REPENTENCE and REGRET, who Else shall be OUR MATES! Tell us, O! THE GREAT GIVER, O! THE SAl of SHIRIDI., 4.. THOU hath preached that of all CHARITIES Feeding Food to others the HOLIEST For it Mitigates HUNGER, Activates the BODY, It instills PEACE in MIND and POISE in BODY; Hence, EXCELLENT and EMINENT of all, is this VIRTUE of CHARITY., So shall its EVERLASTING Effect, be bestowed Upon the GIVER and the RECIVER., Verily! the GLORIEST of the Legion of PIOUS VIRTUES, is CHARITY., CHARITY of FOOD, Truely the most precious DIADEM among ALL "PIETIES", THOU hath emphasised ‘Time and Again’ O! the Great GIVER, O! the SAl of SHIRIDI., 5. At all Times, in all conditions, "HUNGER" remains the MOST Powerful 'WANT'., Without HUNGER, Eternal TIME would have stood STILL, CONSIGNING ALL CREATION to a Naught, Making ALL HUMAN ‘Life, Living and Civilization’, CHARM-LESS., Sordid, Loathsome, Redundant and SUPERFLUOUS., Only in a WELL-FED BODY, could a SOUND MIND Subsists., Only well Nourished Body, sound MIND and strong will, Achieve coveted Ambitions., AND without FOOD and NOURISMENT, Lapse into INACTION; Body. Mind and Intellect., Making Life Listless, Lethargic, Totally LUDICROUS and LAMENTABLE., Either to Achieve ENLIGHTENMENT, or EMANCIPATION., Or Enkindle within 'me’ the Lamp of KNOWLEDGE or Englitter "SELF-SCIENCE"., To Prod "me" even for the "ULTIMATE-REUNION" with “THEE"., Verily FOOD, CHARITY of food, are but MOTIVATING FORCES., So "THOU" hath emphasised 'Time and Again", Time and Again"., O! THE GREATEST of GIVERS, O! THE GREAT SAl of SHIRIDI. (Original in Telugu by Caringula Sathyanarayana Madhu - Translated by Caringula Sathyanarayana Panduranga Rao.
