Is this a Chapter 18 question?

If so, Maya attributes the attitude of poor people toward God as masochisitc. She relates that she was puzzled by the poor who settled for leftovers in order to attend religious meeting and cites, ". . . not only was it our fate to live the poorest, roughest life but that we liked it like that."
