Ask what you can give before demanding what you can get.

I reminded several people how wonderful and beautiful they are and to continue to work towards tearing down their walls and false selfs along with saying thank you and I love you.

Giving and Receiving.

Quote.

Question:
Everyone talks about the meaning of giving. 'There's more blessing in giving than in receiving' the Bible says. True. We are all unique and everyone has unique things to give. True also. But what kind of a world are we living in, when all people only want to give? It seems to me the world is particularly short of people who are able to take on. And I'm not talking about taking on from celebrities, authorities, spiritual leaders – or Deepak Chopra. This is fellowship of people we deem to be at a higher social level. What I mean is the responsibility to take on from the persons next to us, our neighbours, our children etc. Taking on is giving attention and appreciation – a rare virtue in a world of self-publicists.

Response:

I believe that giving and gratitude are essential aspects of our spiritual maturity. Giving is not merely about offering physical gifts, it is a gesture of the heart that reflects back love, abundance and beauty to others. That giving can be done with a kind word, a helping hand or a smile. And from the way you describe’ taking on’ as giving appreciation, I think we are basically in agreement. It’s just that I would not put giving and ‘taking on’ as opposite things. You are right that there is a shortage of a sense of fellowship where we see helping fulfill our neighbors’ needs as an extension of fulfilling our own needs. When we look deep within the silence of our heart we will feel our shared existence with humanity, and we know that altruism satisfies the truth of our inner Self.
Love,
Deepak

To Give is whole hearted, to expect something in return is also with the heart , yet the Brain wants, mind wants ,Ego wants and acts as a filter to feel needed and to know that it will be return. Yet the heart GIVES with out the need, so it is true to its nature LOVE.

The reason I responded the way I did is because I sometimes struggle with the thought of "Look what a nice guy I am for giving. I hope they know it too." So you see it`s a matter of my avoiding rewarding my selfish ego. But once while we were spending some time vacationing in the big city, We happened upon an old poor man selling flowers. My immediate response was not to be the next person who to simply ignore him. So I bought a couple of flowers from him and gave them to my wife and daughter. No big deal. But the look of gratitude in his eyes was one of the most rewarding experiences I`ve ever had in my life. By leaving my ego out of the picture for that instant when I decided to buy the flowers, it open the door for that experience. There was a true compassionate connection to that individual for that moment that lives in our hearts to this day. That to me is the true nature of `giving and recieving`. As far as the topic heading goes, probably someone merely made a mistake as there was a recent topic already called that.

I`m not sure what the writer means by take on. Either a person has gratitude or they don`t. Giving is not conditional on the expectation of recieving gratitude. One of the most beautiful experiences that can happen is the heartfelt connection between a person who gives without any expectations, and the person who recieves and shows pure appreciation just by the look in his eyes. That`s when the giver realizes that they did something good without the burden of having the preconcieved notion of believing that they are owed for their generosity.
