<\/p>\nDear BTW Family,\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nMohanji explains what the effect of selfless giving is, and how to do it gracefully so that both the giver and receiver benefit. In addition, he points out how\u00a0 the guru principle works in this process and why personal involvement is important to create an internal shift. Liberation is the ultimate goal.\n

<\/p>\nLove,\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There is nothing more beautiful than giving. Especially, if giving is totally unconditional. When we give wholeheartedly, our whole heart expands. Our life becomes more meaningful, worthwhile.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When we take from someone, we may perhaps be happy for a few minutes or hours, then the happiness erodes and more needs replace that space which was occupied by the momentary happiness a few minutes earlier. But, giving keeps you liberated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Giving keeps you free and abundant. Abundance fills our heart and it shows. It shines forth in our expressions. Fresh water fills into the well when the bucket removes a quantity of water from it. When we give, grace fills in.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Giving also has its degree variations. When we give the most precious possession for a higher cause, it becomes a challenge to our existence. If we survive that challenge and if we perform the act of giving, our consciousness shifts. Our awareness level changes. We achieve beautiful states of existence.\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 All people have good hearts and attitude of service in them. Spiritual liberation depends on how one expresses that in their daily life. Some spontaneously give money for a good cause and forget it. This is a\u00a0passive good man. He is reasonably indifferent.\u00a0Some collect some materials or money and help the needy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This man is further evolved. Some people stay through until the problem is solved. They are still higher in their evolution of selflessness. Some take another step by preventing a re-occurence of the same calamity in the victim’s life. These are still closer to liberation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, it would be a good idea to look at yourself and understand your method of operation in such situations. Look within. Only you can change yourself.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now, consider also one important point. When you crave for expressing your kindness, such as feeding the poor, it becomes the responsibility of the nature to provide you the poor and\u00a0hungry. Look at it from another angle – In order to satisfy our wish, or to achieve our happiness, we need an object that suffers.\n\u00a0\nSo, those who walk the path of karma yoga<\/a> (selfless service)\u00a0should understand this concept very well.<\/strong> We should help the helpless, no doubt. But, as I mentioned in the case of the last person who ensured that no further calamity happens to the victim, an act of kindness should\u00a0be a bridge\u00a0to liberation for both the giver and receiver.\u00a0

This means, an act of charity should be aimed at creating self-sufficiency in the receiver. The more self-sufficient the receiver is, the more liberated you are, from him. The one who gives and the ones who receives are inter-dependent. One does not exist without the other.\u00a0

So, our aim, our prayer should be, “Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu”, “Let everyone be self-sufficient. With my act of charity, may the receiver be empowered to lead his life on his own. Let me not create dependency in those whom we give.\u00a0

Let me stay liberated and let those who receive from me stay liberated. Each act of charity may attain completion this way. Let my life be complet, too.”\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the art of giving<\/h4>\n

Giving should lead to completion, and liberation. Giving should automatically lead us to shedding and liberation. Giving should lead us to liberation. Liberation is the ultimate aim. Giving without awareness breeds dependency.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We create takers. We create dependents. This binds us. This binds them to us. So, whenever we give, do it with awareness. Do give, but, give only with awareness. Never create dependency.\n

The way I am getting messages, we are looking at providing food to at least 300,000 people worldwide. The purpose is to feel the bliss of giving.\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nThis means, as far as possible, do it yourself along with your family. Giving money away to orphanages or poor homes are secondary. Do it that way, if you cannot do it yourself. First preference should be to do it yourself. This can help create a shift in awareness.\u00a0

The bliss of giving that you will experience yourself, when you serve wholeheartedly, can make a constitutional shift within. If you prepare food yourself and give, it is even more blissful. If you chant the mantras while cooking, the food becomes offering to the Lord Almighty.\u00a0

\nYou can create higher and higher dimensions to your art of giving.\u00a0\n

The purpose is to feel the bliss of giving.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nLet the children also enjoy the bliss of giving. Tell them that the receiver is extending us a favor by taking food from us. The receivers are helping us to attain the bliss of giving. They are also an integral part of our existence. They are also representing the eternal guru principle.\u00a0

\nThey are helping us experience bliss and this is a first hand experience for yourself. Bless\u00a0them, have gratitude towards them\u00a0for that.\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I wish all of you happiness, peace and bliss always.\n
