I practice selfless giving not because I’m remarkable but just because I find that its terrifically fun!
If, when you give to someone you think you’re better than they are because your practing selfless giving, you’re not loving.
Selfless giving does not imply superiority. Selfless giving is about love.
Selfless giving is being nice and there are times we don’t want to be.
You could go outside today and have a glum face, or you could put a smile on your face and go out into the world, even though you don’t feel like it – that’s selfless giving!
If you are unhappy – be that way in your bedroom – but whenever you come out into the world, in real selfless giving we push all of that aside and we smile, love and give to others.
We can’t allow ouselves to be depresses or discouraged. There are people who depend on us, things to accomplish. We only have a little bit of time in this world before death swallows us up.
We could be unhappy and discouraged for ourselves, but we’re trying to be in a high vibratory state so we can be of service to others.
We must bring light to as many people as possible. Who has time to indulge in self-pity or guilt? In advanced self-giving you have no time for this. You just push these emotions out.
It’s better to do something, even if you’re attached to the results.
Be kind; you’re only here for a while. No sense of superiority, just do things for others. It’s really fun.
Selfless giving involves time. It takes a bit of time to care and share yourself with the universe.
As you pass through this life, have you done all that you really wish to for others?
There are persons who elected to give their existence to God. They are happy, happy in their self-giving.
If we think of Albert Schweitzer, Ghandi, Lincoln, we feel that the people who were the most outstanding in the this world are those who have given the most of themselves.
We see that love manifested normally in the soldier, in the parent, in the lover, and in the spiritual teacher.
The soldier is willing to give their life, perhaps for someone they never even met in their country. That’s a very high love.
It’s always said that when one is a soldier who dies in battle, you go to a very high world. There’s a great and good karma for the soldier who dies in battle because it’s an extended selfless giving.
In the Bhagavad-Gita, a dialogue ensues in the middle of a battlefield, symbolizing the battlefield of life which we are fighting through our illusions.
Some types of nothing are more fun than other types of nothing.
