What Will You Give For My Poor People - Mother Theresa


--by Raman, posted Jul 22, 2007

This is a true incident in the life of Mother Theresa.
She used to go in search of well-to-do people and seek help for the people who were struggling for their life.

One rich guy who hates these kind of activities & people, used to frown at her all the time. But Mother Theresa, politely approached him and asked for help.

At the peak of anger, the rich man spit on Mother Theresa's face and started scolding her.

The divine Mother, patiently cleared it and with unimaginable patience asked him,
"Thanks for what ever you gave me, but what will you give to help my poor people".

The rich man got stunned by her response and  gave her sufficient funds to help the needy people.

She never had ego while helping people, which most of us have when we do such activities.

Her only intension was to reach out for people who are in need and help them. She always believed that she's just a tool being used to help others.

She never took the pride of her achievements. We should try following her path to the maximum extent possible.
