Begging Alms
For the purpose of propagating Satsang the sadhus
travelled extensively from village to village. They lived by begging
alms. Yogiji Maharaj took the blind, aged Bhagwatswarupdasji with
him. He took great care of him, making sure he did not stumble and
carried the alm-bag of provisions (Joli) himself. One day Karsang
Bapu remarked, "Why don't you bring a young sadhu as your companion?
It would save you a lot of hassle." Yogiji Maharaj replied, "It is
a privilege to have an aged sadhu. How else can one serve an old sadhu?
Having him with me I get the opportunity of listening to his spiritual
knowledge and the service of carrying the alm-bag."
