माँगन मरण समान है, मति माँगो कोई भीख ।
माँगन ते मारना भला, यह सतगुरु की सीख ॥
माँगन ते मारना भला, यह सतगुरु की सीख ॥
Here too Saint Kabir ingeniously touches one another aspect of human right which stands firm as a cardinal matter for all of us.
Kabir lays emphasis on the fact that the day you start begging for things, you become obsequious and servile, you indeed stop living at all. The moment you ask others to do anything for you, at the very moment you lose out on your self respect and once self respect as well as reverence vanishes away, they continue to be evasive throughout the life time, leaving a lacuna in your life which would continue to serve as a stigma and hence in short, it's a sin to implore and beg.
The main question that arises here is, why Kabir termed dying as a better alternative to begging. The answer is simple, if you die, you die once; if you beg, you die a thousand times. In this world the respect, we hold up is truly priceless, nothing exists that can compensate for its loss. The moment we beg to others for anything, we indeed lose our respect, as we are giving the other person a complete authority over us and hence the mutual respect is in-toto lost. The other person would never ever look onto you with respect but you will always find a feeling of either sympathy or contempt, both of which are indication that you are being considered fragile, meek and trivial.
Being born into a human soul, we all can do anything we want to do in this world. Being blessed with almost all the perquisite things, we can do each and everything and hence begging has truly not been embedded into our program and hence a true Guru would always proscribe imploring as one of the biggest sins of human life.
You have been blessed with a great life. Go out, and take each and everything that fascinate you or you want to have because you are truly worth it.
