R is first in the sequence. S1 claims that poverty is a God's curse. R responds to this claim by saying that it may be true for a few people but to many, it is just its opposite.
R is followed by S. S starts to explain R's point. It says that many of the people consider it to be a source of enjoying life without earning enjoyment.
S is followed by P. P explains the point made by S. It says that many of these people get themselves enrolled as poor people and reap the benefits of poverty.
P is followed by Q as Q further explains P. It is not necessary for a person to be actually poor for getting enrolled because it can be easily managed.
