There was a time when I thought that the begging done by the sadhus was the most detestable thing to do. But now I realise that the concept of begging for alms from others is the supreme act in ego-renunciation. I am talking about the genuine sannyasis, and monks.
When you are in true love, you surrender your ego - all you need is the love from the other.In that state of mind, begging is not a self-humiliating act.
If your love is dependent on whether the object of your love responds to it or not - how can you call your feeling as love?
What is the need to beg for love. Well doc there are people who do that , and I think that is the worst form of self deprecation. I ve known people. This has nothing to do with pleading for alms.
True monks and sanyasis how can we ensure their truth? Do we have to do menial jobs and beg for living to overcome the ego? And as for the subject in question "begging for love", there are people who cannot live without jettisoning all iota of self respect, and such people beg and crave for love . They just cannot be let untouched.They go to depths in pleading. And their thinking that the love they think they will so beget is love is the pity part.

Love cant be felt by begging. I so agree with you, why add more to beggary :)
Beggars receive alms as charity,not love. Love cant be given as charity.After all,what is the need to beg for love?

Yes, I agree. Begging is like knowing you can't have it yet asking for it :) But it's not necessary a bad thing;)
@ Insignia
Exactly the point I wanted to say.

@ Kish
....its not a bad thing?
Well I do not agree
What if the end result is true love in return?
@ Deeps,
True love or false love? What are they?
Amazing lines and pictures.
@ Sukanya
Thanks for the comments. Pics are not mine they are from the NET
Agree 100% I think the need to beg for love arises from poor self esteem.
@ arun,
You hit the nail right where it should be rammed into!!
