37. Heart Conquers Money:

When Pandit Madan Mohan Malaveeya was visiting Nagpur (1926), P.P.Doctorjee brought him over to the then Sangha shakha, which was held in the broken ruins of Mohitewada palace. Pandit Malaveeya was overjoyed to see the inspired youth and their games. Looking at the dilapidation and ruins surrounding the shakha ground, Pandit Malaveeya thought that sangha must be facing a desperate shortage of funds (which indeed, was the case). He said to P.P.Doctorjee: "Doctor sahib, people call me " King of Beggars" - I am famous as a fund-raiser. If you say so, I can beg around and raise some funds for your organization.”
P.P.Doctorjee replied with humility: "Panditji, I have a shortage of inspired manpower, not of money. For our work, we seek blessings of elders like you, that is sufficient."

Pandit Malaveeya was stunned and speechless to hear this. After a while, he said: "Doctorjee, my heart is filled with joy - I have heard such a noble sentiment for the first time. You put people above money; everywhere else the reverse is usually true. I will spread the word about Sangha everywhere I go!"
