Offered him money. He refused. Kept the money forcefully in his pocket but he returned it back with the same enthusiasm and said, "I'll wait for the God's reward".

Why do I feel that materialistic growth most often makes us insecure & takes away values of being pure at heart.

A lot to learn from such souls. God bless https://t.co/42Al3JjHIW — Major D P Singh (@MajDPSingh) November 16, 2018
