On
New Years' Eve, Midwestern disciples from Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio
gathered at the Ohio Center to prepare vegetarian food and gifts for
more than 200 homeless people. As we began the work, everyone was
filled with enthusiasm, especially the initiated children, who were
eager to participate in filling gift bags for the homeless.
As soon as we arrived
at the Drop-In Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, some of homeless people
in the area recognized us immediately because of a similar project
we had conducted last year. They jumped with joy and yelled, "You
are with the organization of the Spiritual Master!"
As the homeless people
enjoyed our delicious vegetarian dishes, it gave us great joy to listen
to their stories about the help they had received from Master through
the sample booklets.
When it was time
for us to leave, some asked us not to go, and one homeless woman hugged
a female disciple and cried. Both of them were in tears as Master's
love overflowed in their hearts.
