[Shake hands] The real reason for reaching new heights
India is truly an amazing country, their poor have reached new heights, unique in the world.
The poor of Calcutta, born on the streets and died on the streets, have long been associated with rats, cockroaches and garbage dumps. When poverty and illness converge, we can only wait for death to come. They live like ants, miserable, in this world.
When you learn about this situation, is your heart broken?
So how can this be? What makes these people live such a terrible inhuman life?
The poverty of the Kolkata people is due, on the one hand, to historical reasons, but more importantly, to the inequality between people due to religious reasons.
Historical reasons
Historically, Calcutta itself had a large number of slums.
But when India gained independence from Britain, it split into two countries, India and Pakistan. Immediately, a bilateral conflict broke out, leading to a flood of millions of refugees into Kolkata in a short period of time. The slums of Calcutta naturally became a refuge for these refugees.
Religious reasons
The caste system, which originated in Hinduism, hangs over the heads of the Indian people like a grudge and becomes their destiny.
It divides the people of India into four castes, with brahmins high above and then from high to low, namely The Shakti, the Vedas, and the Shudras.
However, that's not all.
In addition to these four castes, there is a Paria known as the "Untouchable", who believes that Paria must be isolated from other castes and cannot be touched.
It is in response to our Chinese proverb: "The dragon gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, and the child of the mouse will punch holes." Paria is a dalit who is unworthy of caste in the eyes of Hinduism. They deserve to be abandoned by society, not allowed to go into shops, have no right to go to school, cannot enter the courtroom, and are not even entitled to drink spring water.
As a result, they can only survive at the bottom of society. You can't choose your profession freely, you can only do the lowly, unclean jobs handed down from your ancestors, which are occupations that other castes would never touch.
And no matter how hard they try, they will never come out of the ordinary, and they will always be untouchables.
But Hinduism tells them that this is because they have "created iniquity" in their previous lives. They should bear all the pain and wait patiently for the next life.
So, even if they live in the slums, even if they have nothing, their attitude is appointment, there will be no resistance.
Although this unfair hereditary system of "descent theory" has been legally abolished for many years, it still dominates the lives of Indians.
So how did Mother Teresa help these poor people?
[Shaking hands] Simplifying complexity is Mother Teresa's greatest ability
Logically, if you want to help these poor people, you should provide them with food and clothing, let them eat enough, give them money, and let them spend as much as they want. When they are sick, treat them and restore them to health. Through various effective measures, these people are fed, clothed, warm, and have no worries about food and clothing.
But you can't imagine that Mother Teresa banned the purchase of advanced medical equipment, did not allow the establishment of hospitals, and did not hire full-time doctors. And she thinks it's enough to have a few volunteers and nuns willing to pay for free.
Isn't that very unexpected? Mother Teresa, what is this going to do? Isn't it good to cure the sick?
Do not give up on a poor man
In Mother Teresa's view, it may indeed be inappropriate to use advanced means to cure the patient.
She believes that with these expensive medical facilities, there are. Slowly, facilities become more important than patients, and they may choose patients who are more likely to recover. This move then went against her original intention of founding the Missionary Sisters of Charity.
She hoped that her congregation would treat all the poor equally and extend her loving hands to help them whenever they needed them. Instead of having a choice.
Mother Teresa even refused to institutionalize, institutionalize, and professionalize her institutions.
She believed that if it became such an institution, it would indeed be able to better serve the poor. But it also makes the cost of the service rise, and the number of people who can help will correspondingly become fewer. It is even possible to abandon those who are the poorest.
So even though the Sisters of Charity spread all over the world, there was never a structure for stacked bed frame houses, and there was even almost no organizational structure. There are no rules and regulations as thin as a hair, and there are even almost no rules and regulations.
Mother Teresa demanded everything from Jane. She believed that her nuns, like her, shared a common pursuit and would naturally work spontaneously and spontaneously.
So how do nuns work?
They give more than just help
The nuns gave the poor more than help. This helps, all charities around the world do. But unlike those charities, what is different is their love.
For example, Mother Teresa founded the Children's Home, which is a place dedicated to the adoption of abandoned babies.
These babies, themselves, come from broken families, so many have different levels of disability, disease and malnutrition. The nuns needed to bathe, feed, and medicate them carefully.
Not only that, but they must also caress and warm their children like mothers, make them happy, make them laugh, and kiss them from time to time.
But can you imagine that the nuns would pick up a child with a sore face and ointment on it, and would be beaten in the face and kissed the door of the head? They really do.
What Mother Teresa asked them to give was not charity, but their love. And this love is not just for children, they treat all poor people the same.
This is what sets Mother Teresa apart and is her greatest ability. The reason for this is that she has insight into the nature of charity, so instead of choosing complex methods, she uses love to shake the world of the poor.
So how can Mother Teresa gain insight into the nature of charity?
Because she has an exclusive "cultivation of immortality". Do you know her "cultivation of immortals"? Know Reply 1, Don't know Reply 2.
