It is so easy for the poor to stay poor, to eat with the poor and play with the poor and continue to take on the suffering and problems of the poor. And it’s so easy for the rich to be with the rich and eat with the rich and play with the rich and forget about the poor. It is uncommon and very difficult for the rich to live with the poor, to eat with the poor, to take on the problems and sufferings of the poor. But this is what I’m telling you to do. Go to the poor, live with the poor, be with the poor, the helpless, the suffering, and serve them. (S&M, p. 214)

Try as far as possible within your means to satisfy the needs of the poor, who are really Daridra Narayana (The Lord in the form of the poor). Share with them whatever food you have and make them happy at least that moment. (San Vah, p. 31)
