Treat All with Respect – Part Two of One

The man replied I walked a long way from the mountains; I am very hungry and have not eaten for days. Can I have just little food; I will sit out here and not dirty your place. The businessman looked at him and despised him of his looks. In a hurting way. No!  No said the business man, looking at this dirty filthy looking man, he said it is too late now we are already cleaning up. The man begged said he is hungry and he will not mind sitting any where outside but please feed my hunger. No said the business man, Just  Look at yourself, how dirty and you smell bad. Just go away there is nothing for you. This old man begging for food was turned away from his door.

OK the business man so happy, cleaned up all. In the morning when he opened the oven door, to his surprise all bricks were half baked incomplete Oh! No he yelled, how this can happen, all bricks were baked so good – now half baked. There was so much loss he ran to the temple crying for his loss. The man at the temple sympathized with him. Asked if he fed the village everyone. Yes he said and God the businessman said God never came. No said the priest at the temple, God came and you insulted him turning him away hungry. That last knock on your door was god you never offer any food or water. You disgraced the mans, appearance ignored his cry for food. That showed your selfishness, never kept your promise to feed all..

So what I am trying to say is, we never know in which disguise god could be testing you. Be good, be humble, never run down on a persons appearance. A beggar, if you cannot give much offer a coin, some food  or simply walk away, but never look down on others. We never know what circumstances brings a person to such situations in life.
