A Way of Showing Kindness |

A beggar was chanting God's name with japa mala (rosary)
near Bihari ji's (Krishna's) temple in Vridaban. The sun had risen high
in the sky, and he was sad that he still had not received any alms.
Baba, who could read one's thoughts, saw him and at once went and sat
by him. The beggar mumbled that he had not had anything since morning
and now Baba was coming to grab a share. Baba, with a violent jerk,
snatched the rosary out of his hands and began chanting with it
himself. The beggar became angry, but Baba went on calmly counting the
beads. Having blessed the beggar by using his rosary, Baba returned it
to him. After that the man's condition improved. He was seen around
Bihari ji's temple, but he was not begging any more.
