suchandra 1 Report post Posted December 9, 2008 Interesting point being made, see below, people have to be engaged in charity. Of course, such a sannyasi must be really renounced and a Vaishnava. "There is a story that some sannyasi went to a householder, because a sannyasi goes to householder for begging. They are begging also like that. They are not beggars, but they introduce as beggar so that the householder may receive and take some advantage of his knowledge. He is not beggar. So one beggar went to a householder, and the housewife said, “Oh, this beggar has come from door to door. Give him some ashes.” So the sannyasi replied, “All right. Give me some ashes. Just begin your charity.” Just begin your charity. So similarly, Krsna, when He wants, “Give Me a little flower, a little fruit, a little water,” it does not mean that He is begging. He is just inducing me to the practice of offering everything which belongs to Krsna." Srimad-Bhagavatam 7.9.11 by His Divine Grace A. C.
