On the day of the function, as usual, he dressed in a very simple way and walked to the rich man's
home. He could see many chariots and carts in front of his home and there were many rich persons, who were very busy with the function. When he tried to enter into his home, the security person at the gate, refuesed to permit him to go inside the home.
He explained everything to that man and tried to persuade him but failed. He said that he was not satisfied with the explanations and further said that his Master would have not sent the invitation to him, since he was sure that his master did not like the poor people.
