“How will we manage sangati (rice) without going
for labour ?”
asked Chinapaapakka. Eashwaramma said, “God will give sangati
– if not for three meals, then for one meal.” Lakshmamma, older and wiser, added, “God may say go
to the forest and collect devadaru leaf and cook and eat it. But even that thought
God has to put in our head.”
The utter generosity of the poor humbles us. They give rice to every mendicant even when their rice is getting over. That is what they are defined by.
