A wealthy woman fulling her vow to Kashi Vishwanath, made at a time when her father was afflicted with Corona.
A vow to seek Bhiksha in Kashi and fulfil her hunger for an entire day with the Bhiksha recieved.
Bhiksha is not begging. There is no translation that does justice to the spirit of 'Bhiksha'.
The seeker must give up his ego, his pride and recieve with gratitude, whatever people offer.
The giver must give without condescension, knowing that he is privileged to have the opportunity to give. He must give without doer-ship, knowing that what he gives, he does not own. Also, he must give away the best he has.
The spirit of bhiksha is knowing, on the part of both the giver and the receiver, that this life itself, is not ours, but an offering, a bhiksha, from God !
Beautiful, profound...
Majestic yet humble, as only Santana Dharma can be
