Self help is the best help

देहीति वचनं श्रुत्वा
देहस्था पञ्चदेवताः ।
तत्क्षणादेव लीयन्ते
धीह्रीश्रीक्रान्तिकीर्तयः ॥

As soon as the words "I beg you. Please give me" are uttered, the five inherent divine qualities in a man – intelligence, modesty, riches, countenance and reputation die instantly.

It is better to know how to help yourself than to beg from others.
Self help is the best help.
