They were about to eat when they heard a voice at the door, ‘Mother, I am dying of hunger. Please give me something.’ They looked at each other.
Mother said, ‘My dear daughter, this man seems very hungry. Give away my share.’ Kannamma felt that the hunger could not be appeased with just half a piece of bread and so, she gave away her share as well. The beggar went away satisfied.
Their hunger was unbearable. After sometime both of them swooned.
Mother had a dream in which the Lord appeared and said ‘Kamala! Even though you and your daughter were in dire straits due to hunger, both of you gladly gave away whatever you had to the hungry dog and destitute beggar. It was I who appeared in these forms to test you. I am pleased with your concern for others. May you get enough wealth and live happily.’
When Kamala opened her eyes, she beheld a miracle. By the grace of God, her hut had turned into a mansion filled with heaps of grain and garments. They fed the whole village sumptuously. Their meritorious act brought rain to the village. The famine disappeared and there was abundance everywhere.
In this regard, we may recall Swami Vivekananda's utterings:
'This life is short, the vanities of the world are transient, but they alone live who live for others, the rest are more dead than alive.'
'In this world always take the position of the giver. Give everything and look for no return. Give love, give help, give service, give any little thing you can, but keep out barter.'
Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be; if you think yourselves strong, strong you will be. ---- Swami Vivekananda.
