| Evolution of Love Part 2 |
| "My mother used to say, when giving some special treat of food to me, 'Share this with somebody else.' Initially, my reaction was that she was trying to give me less. But immediately I began to picture in my mind, 'Well, if I like this food so much, maybe somebody else would also like it.' So I decided I should share. Then came the thought, 'If I share with everybody, there will be nothing at all left for me.' That began to puzzle me. But my experience was that if I shared with others, then I enjoyed more—the joy received from sharing was even greater than the joy I got from the thing I had shared. That is why I have always parted with whatever I have loved. Whenever some possession was wanted or needed by somebody else, my mind would say, 'Well, he is "sick" with this desire; you were healed of your wish for it, so now let him have that benefit.' One by one I gave away everything that came to me— and my joy was multiplied. When I wanted something and got it, I enjoyed; and when I gave it to somebody else, I enjoyed it again. No desire has ever been permitted to take possession of my soul; that would be contrary to the ideal of spiritual selfishness for the welfare of my true Self. Never love anything so much that it possesses you. Whatever you give out, you will attract in kind. What you are will show in your countenance and actions, and others will feel the underlying vibration and respond accordingly." |
