To Give and to Receive


This, can be one of the most important elements of improvement and is as much material, as spiritual. The study and reflection of this topic, will help us to understand fundamental aspects, in order to clearly realize how the order works in the universe.
The first thing to do is to establish that the world is not an accidental place, that life is not by chance and that everything that we do brings an important answer. This answer corresponds in principle to an stimulus.
Man is a generator of reactions and conditions, that later will bring him an important result, which can be measured as progress or as disaster.  In the  negotiation -of giving and receiving, there is a mechanism that must be understood and respected.
If we want success in order to achieve, progress, depth, balance and self control, we must generate it and provide it in our environment.
Wealth starts from the nobility and purity of the heart. I am not referring exclusively about money and wealth; I am referring to the wealth of life, of happiness and plenitude, which are joy and peace in ourselves. This is very certain and true, and teaches us that happiness is not only my happiness but the happiness that I share and that all the beings and all the inhabitants of the universe share.
There is a great difference between disharmony and harmony, familiarity and affection; in opposite to banishment and neglect, even toward us.
It is elemental, if we want to gather fruits, let's plant.
If we want a just society, let's be just. If we want abundance, let's be abundant in our work, dedication, and mainly in prayer, because this will always teach the path to follow.
And retaking the subject of giving and receiving: It is only right to receive in the measurement that we give, or, do we want to steal?
Is it right that we ask for everything, without giving anything? There are no mechanisms of progress in the inertia. If I want something, I have to do my part. Sometimes, we hold unto things, and we forget that if we don't know how to share, we are as books that nobody will ever read, which is very sad and desolating.
If I have a boat, and I  never sail it, do I really have a boat, or do I only have a selfish way of showing position? And this boat, would lose its real sense of being, and will become nothing.
The lives of many people are like that, only directed to acquire a position in life. This is so terrible, because, they will never have the minimum experience of happiness.
If we don't give a smile, who will smile us back? If we don't forgive, who will forgive us ? If we don't give a hug, who will hug us back?
Do we want to be as a dry, broken branch, that does not offer shade, fruit, aroma or anything? No, we don't want that! We want to be the best that we can be!
Between giving and receiving there is a balance and a reciprocal harmony.
I will reach the stars, because when I look at them, at night, I love them for being a reflection of the creating light that God has placed in everything in existence, then, I will receive that light because I am grateful.
To give is to properly correspond with the natural abundance in life. If we ever find ourselves in a path filled with needs and anguish, let's not fall into despair, on the contrary, let's be grateful to God, for the abundance that life is. Let's praise Him and let's pray for others, and the universe will correspond in accordance and the law of equilibrium and reciprocity will be understood.
