Do Not Wish to Take Anything, Only Wish to Give

 

In reality, pride and attachment are difficult to get rid off. A

point is being shared with you, brothers and sisters, each and every

one of you, contemplate on this in your homes, live according to what

is being said, then very easily pride and attachment can go away. In

households the fights are generally due to two reasons - you work,

and I will shop. Let me have rest, relaxation, respect, honor, and

everything else, while you work and incur the expenses. It is

generally these things that lead to arguments and havoc. If this is

reversed, i.e. we do the work and the other person gets rest,

relaxation, respect, reverence, etc, then life will be fulfilled.

These are not things to be taken, rather they are to be given.

Respect others, give them honour, give them rest and relaxation, obey

them, give them happiness. If one behaves with each other in this

manner, then love will grow.

 

It is man's nature, that he wishes to fulfill the desires in his mind,

and it is on fulfilling these desires that he becomes happy. There is

desire for wealth, for respect, for greatness, for living etc. Of all

these desires the main desire is that whatever his mind wishes, must

happen. This is not a good thing. Leaving aside your own mind's

insistence, one must do what other's mind desires, then he will be

greatly benefited. Only two points have to be kept in mind. What

others are desiring (wanting) from you, is righteous and you have the

ability to give / do it. For this there is one straightforward

solution. Make one firm resolution - I do not want anything from the

world - I only want to serve the world. Why do I want to do so?

Because in the past I have taken, therefore now I must give. I want

to give to the world, not take from it.

 

I am going to tell you a very important point, listen carefully !

This human body has been received for God Realization. There is a way

to live in this world. If we grab hold of that method, then one can

very easily attain realization. To do any work, there is a science,

there is knowledge that is to be acquired. Then one must get to know

that knowledge. If we follow the appropriate method and properly

utilize the knowledge, then very easily we will live in this world,

and we will be able to cross the ocean of life. What is that

knowledge? With whomever, one believes a certain relationship, then

according to that relationship, one should do their duty, and let

there be no desire at all for anything from that person. We do not

wish to take anything, we only wish to give. This body, it has not

been received to gain happiness from the world.
