St Kabeer Couplets 6: Give Me No More Than Enough
Lord, give no more than I need,
Just enough my folks to feed,
Nor I need to sleep hungry,
Nor my saintly guests any.

Money is necessary, but more of it may not make one happier. In fact, it might become nuisance in many a ways. So, pray for enough money and no more. How much is enough? This aspect is beautifully brought out to fore in this couplet by Kabeer.
