Poor Lady


--by guddan, posted Jul 9, 2008
When i was in my childhood days, I knew a mentally disabled lady who had a very rich background. She had two sons and a husband who was doctor. But he had an accident. One of the sons exiled her from the home and she became mad because of this incident. Everyone denied to help her or give her anything and basically turned her away. I used to see all this when my father brought me sweets or a new dress and I would say, "Please, keep that for the lady." I gave her many things that I kept for her and she gave me lots of blessings. Its really gave me so much contentment.
After a short period she died. When my mother told me she was run over by a truck, I cried a lot. This imprint is still in my mind.
From then to now, whenever I saw such poor people I have a great inclination toward them. I am ready to give up wat I can give for them. So if you have seen any people who really need you, please help them! it will add to your karmas, and believe me it causes no loss to your bank balance.
