Give so much, O God, suffice to envelop my clanI should not suffer cravings, nor the visitor go unfed- Saint Kabir
God give me so much that my family I can feed
And give enough character to control my greed
God give me so much that guest doesn’t go unfed.
Enough that I eat and my dog eats half the bread.
God you know very well how much do I need
You know every fruit that comes out of a seed
I do not wish beyond what I can ever manage
I wish to travel light without a knot on my baggage.
Give me enough strength that I don’t have to beg
I don’t need anything; spare my two hands and leg
God if you can do any favour then bestow this one
Let my hands open to give than to take from some one. - Vasant Khisty
Great saint Kabir feels that begging is like dying. Even in Sikh religion begging is like a sin. However we have to be humble enough to seek this favour from God to give us the strength to be able to give than to take.
