படித்ததில் பிடித்தது - The Law of Giving

பெறுவது இலாபமானதென்றும், தருவது இழந்து விடுவதென்றும் பலரும் நினைப்பதுண்டு. ஆனால் தருவதே பெறுவதற்கான வழி என்பதே இயற்கையின் நியதி. இன்னும் சொல்லப்போனால் தருவதையே பலமடங்காகப் பெறுகிறோம். பெற்றதெல்லாம் முன்பு தந்தவையே. இனிப் பெறப் போவதும் இப்போது தருவதையே. தருவது என்றால் அது பணமும், பொருள்களும் தான் என்பதல்ல எண்ணங்களால், சொற்களால், செயல்களாலும் எத்தனையோ பிறருக்குத் தர இயலும் என்றும், தருவது எல்லாம் எப்படி திரும்ப வருகிறது என்றும் மிக அழகாக தீபக் சோப்ரா விளக்குகிறார். படித்துப் பயன் பெறுங்களேன்.

The Law of Giving

In every seed is the promise of thousands of forests. But the seed must not be hoarded; it must give its intelligence to the fertile ground. Through its giving, its unseen energy flows into material manifestation.

The more you give, the more you will receive, because you will keep the abundance of the universe circulating in your life. In fact, anything that is of value in life only multiplies when it is given. That which doesn.t multiply through giving is neither worth giving nor worth receiving. If, through the act of giving, you feel you have lost something, then the gift is not truly given and will not cause increase. If you give grudgingly, there is no energy behind that giving.

It is the intention behind your giving and receiving that is the most important thing. The intention should always be to create happiness for the giver and receiver, because happiness is life-supporting and life-sustaining and therefore generates increase. The return is directly proportional to the giving when it is unconditional and from the heart. That is why the act of giving has to be joyful . the frame of mind has to be one in which you feel joy in the very act of giving. Then the energy behind the giving increases many times over.

Practicing the Law of Giving is actually very simple: if you want joy, give joy to others; if you want love, learn to give love; if you want attention and appreciation, learn to give attention and appreciation; if you want material affluence, help others to become materially affluent. In fact, the easiest way to get what you want is to help others get what they want. This principle works equally well for individuals, corporations, societies, and nations. If you want to be blessed with all the good things in life, learn to silently bless everyone with all the good things in life.

The best way to put the Law of Giving into operation - to start the whole process of circulation - is to make a decision that any time you come into contact with anyone, you will give them something. It doesn.t have to be in the form of material things; it could be a flower, a compliment, or a prayer. In fact, the most powerful forms of giving are non-material. The gifts of caring, attention, affection, appreciation, and love are some of the most precious gifts you can give, and they don't cost you anything.

When you meet someone, you can silently send them a blessing, wishing them happiness,joy, and laughter. This kind of silent giving is very powerful.

One of the things I was taught as a child, and which I taught my children also, is never to go to anyone.s house without bringing something . never visit anyone without bringing them a gift. You may say, .How can I give to others when at the moment I don.t have enough myself?.

You can bring a flower. One flower. You can bring a note or a card which says something about your feelings for the person you.re visiting. You can bring a compliment. You can bring a prayer.

Make a decision to give wherever you go, to whomever you see. As long as you.re giving,you will be receiving. The more you give, the more confidence you will gain in the miraculous effects of this law. And as you receive more, your ability to give more will also increase.
