Think of a star. A star burns its very substance to give light to others. You need to be like a star.
If you just keep giving constantly, if you don't really take thought of your own welfare and your own awareness, but just give, beyond exhaustion - then your life will always be a constant progression.
Life itself is selfless giving. We're not given this life just for own amusement and pleasures.
When you practice selfless giving, you're in balance and harmony with everything.
Nature gives constantly to us. We as indendepent egos think we're important. Selfless giving has to do with overcoming the ego. The ego makes us unhappy.
We're not aware of the joy of our own immortality. When we give to someone else it opens a doorway and gives us the vision to see those we give to are God. As we see this in others, suddenly we see it within ourselves.
We see the one light, the one unified reality that we see in others, is the same reality that is within ourselves. We are one with all of existence.
You can only be really happy when you become what you really are.
Having a tough time, things aren't working out no matter what you try and do? That's because you are spending your whole life just doing things for yourself. That's a very limited view of your being.
The best mantrum is selfless giving beause as you repeat it again and again, you change.
If your're not having a very good time with your life, its because you haven't done much for others. You may have done many things but you havent done much for those around you.
When you're going though a difficult time, forget about yourself for a while. Go do something for someone else. This is the fastest way to pull yourself out of a negative state.
You could sit around and feel sorry for yourself or you can go out and do things for others.
One day after many, many lifetimes, we get wise. We decide that the fun in life is to give.
We are inspired by the God that we see in others and suddenly we find ourselves changing. We find ourselves giving more. We find that our lives become rather amazingly beautiful.
There's always someone to help, there's always some way in which you can perfect yourself through service to others.
Selfless giving means forgeting about yourself. It means letting go and doing something crazy.
Everybody out there is just doing things for themesleves. So if you don't do that you've got to be crazy ... crazy about selfless giving!
Selfless giving is like putting on make-up. We're covering up a part of ourselves thats not very aware. The thing is when we take the make up off, the selflish part leaves us. We are freeer, clearer.
The short way to happiness is through kindness and sensitivity.
Selfless giving has a lot to do with what happens to you in the future. There is karma, both good and bad.
Your spiritual journey and your spiritual welfare are really dependent on two primary factors: One, your ability to meditate and two, your ability to give of yourself.
It is much more likely that you will attain liberation if you want liberation for others, than just for yourself.
Well, yes, I could give up for myself but no, there are others whom I will be able to help and they're waiting for me and if I don't complete my task, if I don't do this perfectly, then what about them? They'll suffer.
Then you will pick yourself up, no matter how tired you are, and go forward again and again and again, until you've reached liberation.
