Nowadays many Ashrams have sprung up and they claim that they are helping the needy people! Sai says that this is not the right way to help. First, they should bless the poor people, so that they should slowly become self sufficient and there remains no need to beg or ask for help. They should also pray for their bright future so that they should not fall ill, be healthy and not be dependent on anyone. But, what is happening is that on one side these people ask and take help and money from others, from which they feed the needy with the real purpose of gaining self publicity and making a name for themselves! This is completely wrong and they must understand that the real meaning and purpose of Ashram is to provide stability and progress!
