Many people donate money, engage in pious activities, and give alms. However, only Draupadi’s sari, Vidur’s bhāji, and Sudama’s rice are mentioned (in the scriptures).1 God is the uplifter of the sinful, liberator of the wicked, and the refuge of those who have no refuge; but only if one seeks his refuge. Regarding this, Swami spoke about Ajamil and the prostitute who took niyams. If one is drowning in a well and one grasps a branch, one has faith that one will not drown. Similarly, with the support of the manifest God or God-realized Sadhu, there is conviction that one will be liberated. On this, he talked about Indra, who, on the advice of Naradji talked to his brother, Vamanji, and accepting him as a deity, meditated on him and so was pardoned of the sin of four Brahmicides. The presence of the real sun brings light, while with real water dirt can be removed and with a real chintāmani desire for wealth is satisfied. Similarly, with the real, manifest God liberation is attained. Footnotes: 1. 1. Krishna Bhagwan killed Shishupal with his Sudarshan disc. The disc cut his finger in the process. Draupadi saw Krishna’s finger bleed and tore off a part of her sari to bandage the wound. Krishna repaid her by miraculously granting her 999 saris when Duhsashan was trying to unclothe her when the Pandavas lost her in the game of dice. When Krishna came to Hastinapur to speak with Duryodhan about not resorting to war, Duryodhan offered Krishna delicious meals in his palace. However, Krishna declined and ate simple bhāji at Vidur’s home because he was a devotee of Krishna who recognized Krishna as God. Sudama lived in poverty. Realizing Krishna to be the king of Dwarika, he went to Dwarika with rice as a gift to Krishna in hopes of receiving assistance. In return for the rice, Krishna rid his poverty. With these examples, all three are mentioned in the scriptures because of their association with the manifest form of God. No one else has been mentioned.
