Once Narada muni was traveling and he met a beggar on the way.
The beggar asked Narada muni for some charity in his begging bowl.
Narada muni said, "I myself am penniless but I can help you get charity from another person."
He then took the beggar to Kuber and asked him to give some donation.
Kuber was surprised that Narada muni had to bring the beggar all the way for some insignificant charity, but nevertheless he took some lakshmi from his treasury and filled the bowl. But to his surprise the bowl became empty. He again took many more
It came to a point that Kuber's treasury was almost exhausted and Kuber being completely bewildered asked what material the begging bowl is made off. When Narada muni turned the begging bowl upside down, he found that the bowl is nothing but the human skull.
The greedy desires of the cannot be fulfilled even if the wealth of the entire universe is given as charity to them.
