A poor man is suffering and poverty is the punishment given for the previous sin committed by the soul. If such a poor person is helped, it amounts to interference in the administration of God. The punishment is given for a change and you need not sympathise it. The parental love of the Lord is greater than your brotherly love. Only the grace of God can end the punishment forever. Therefore you preach divine knowledge and devotion and then assist that poor person.

The divine knowledge and devotion will bring a change in him and you have served the purpose of the punishment. Then God is pleased with you and also will show grace on that poor person. The poverty will vanish forever. Therefore social service must be integrated with spiritual mission. Sankara told the same (Loka sevaka matha khandanam) and Mother Theresa did the same. Mere social service is like a simple boarding and lodging given to the hostel students without the primary teaching in the classes.

Therefore, the aim of terrorism gives only temporary and apparent relief whereas the spiritual mission based social work is a permanent solution. The discoveries of scientists without any spiritual basis, which were expected to serve the society, have harmed the society. If one reads, the latest environmental science, it becomes clear.
