Many street children, teenagers and adult beggars can be seen around the new bus park in Gongbusht, Kathmandu. Today I am going to tell the success story of a beggar in the crowd of those beggars. A beggar who looks like a Terai native is always standing on the sidewalk in front of a busy mall, where city buses pick up and drop off passengers, begging for money from passengers.
In the meantime, one day he came to beg from a trader who had come from the hills to buy goods for his shop and said, "Brother, give me 50 rupees. I haven't eaten anything since yesterday." Hearing the beggar's words, the merchant said, "If I give you 50 rupees, what will you give me in return?" The beggar humbly said, "Brother, what can I give you as a beggar?" If I had something to give to a person like you, why did I have to beg and go hungry? At the same time, a metropolitan transport vehicle came and stopped in front. The merchant said, "I am a merchant, it is my profession and my religion to do business, so I got in the car saying that I can't give anything to anyone who doesn't give me anything."
The beggar was disappointed for a while after the merchant gasped. Then I sat under a poplar tree nearby and began to think. The trader's statement is also true, but what happens to a homeless beggar like me and what to give? Again, I beg with hundreds of people, not with one or two people a day, what to give to so many people. The beggar stopped begging and began to think. The day fell and the evening fell. Nothing happened to eat with him. He got up from there and proceeded towards Bashundhara. After reaching a little further, the beggar, who was suffering from hunger and thirst, could not walk. He reached the Shiva temple on the other side of the road and decided to spend the night in the temple belt.
Even in the middle of the night, playing with many things in his mind, he fell asleep. One morning, the sound of a temple bell rang by a devotee woke him up. As he opened his eyes, he saw the priest of the temple distributing notes and flowers to the devotees and the devotees putting notes of 5, 10, 20, 50 etc. on his plate. The beggar thought to himself, if I could distribute the offerings, flowers and vaccines in the same way, I would also get money and I would have done the same transaction as yesterday's trader. But I have nothing to do with the temple. From which temple would you bring offerings, flowers and vaccines? As he was thinking, a trick came to his mind.
I will buy some flowers and vaccines tomorrow morning with the money I have saved from today's meal, and I will come to this temple to worship and distribute flowers and vaccines to everyone. By doing so, people pay money out of respect and I am not insulted. He started doing the same from the next day. His earnings began to double or triple. And he kept making money.
Have a nice stay. I started wearing clean and tidy clothes. Everyone began to receive his Tika flowers and offerings.
