THE BOLD BEGGAR
Once there were two sages who lived in a
hermitage located in a forest. They spent most of their time worshipping Vayu, the wind god.
One afternoon, as the sages were beginning their meal, a Brahmachari (an unmarried student seeking Truth) beggar arrived holding his begging bowl.
The Brahmachari pleaded to the sages, "Pardon me respectful sages, could I beg for a part of your excess meal?"
