Premanand Maharaj Ji
Should I help beggars and needy people, or will it make them dependent?
Help the truly needy, with discernment
No one wants to live as a coward, and when several people join to help a family that is struggling, it becomes a great good deed. Still, look carefully, and do not support those who put on an act to feed addictions.
There are many whose bodies cannot work. If you arrange some food or support for them, they are living on Bhagwan's support.
