Begging and beggars are rampant in many countries of the world. India, my dear country itself, boasts of being home to the maximum number of beggars in the world. That is definitely a statistic that pains many hearts and makes them want to do something for them. However, beggary is not a straightforward problem which can be eradicated! Please allow me to present a few points which highlight the ‘controversy’ in the problem. For starters, beggary is organised crime in many places. Sri Sathya Sai Baba Himself has said, “Do not throw coins when beggars stretch their hands for alms; help them to become self-reliant. Provide food and shelter, love and care, for the sick and aged.”
Here is a personal experience with someone in need and Swami's message regarding the same.
