Although not Hindu I feel that the last step of a Brahmin to become a sanyasi giving up all their wealth to wander as a beggar in the streets is learning step that would be good for all.

Riches are nothing, if it is not used for the most needy person. And what worth is a sacrifice, if the person for whom we make it does not deserve it! What life is it if we live oblivious of the one who needs your care around you.

amassed a lot of wealth, But his greed never diminished, It increased days after days, Gradually the covetous wayfarer became weary and frustrated, The great question: of What use is this riches? sublime and noble theme. tony

We are all travelers in life We all run after a request or a goal But we do not know is it worth it or not? When the departure time comes It is too late for a decision But the greedy person in this poem was able in the end to correct his big mistake and made real happiness. Thanks and deserves 5 stars

" What's the utility of the riches, if it can not give peace and stability in my life? " Therefore one day he donated all his wealth

Very fine poem on sacrifice. I would invite you to read my poems (I have five of them) but my account is new and Poem Hunter has not activated them yet. I don't understand this. I thought people would be able to read them at once when they were posted!
