THE JOY OF GIVING


Our universe is governed by a mysterious law called the law of giving. Without adherence to this law the universe cannot survive, life cannot sustain. Imagine how many things are given in abundance to us by this mysterious law. The sun gives us the warmth and light, the air gives us the oxygen to breath, the trees give us the fruits to eat; the flowers give us their aroma to please us, some animals and birds give their life to feed us; if we keep on counting the list will stretch to infinity. In the midst of such abundance emanating from the law of giving, we humans have greatly dissociated ourselves from giving. We fail to emulate this vital principle so glaringly present everywhere around us. All other living and non living things in our world unfailingly adhere to this law of giving except for us humans. 

The joy of giving is far greater than the joy of receiving. Therefore, all other creatures on earth are much happier and more balanced than human beings. Having the highest degree of intelligence and consciousness among all living beings, humans have unwittingly made their life miserable due to their inability to appreciate this mysterious law. The reluctance for giving is human insecurity-- the fear of the unknown future, the fear of not having enough, the trait of insatiability. But a careful observation of this mysterious law will reveal that what one gives comes back to him/her manifold. For example give a seed to the mother earth, she will return you million seeds; when the air thins at a particular place in the atmosphere, wind from all direction blow in abundance to feel the vacuum. Based on this law of giving great abundance is created; this is an obvious law visible everywhere though in our ignorance we pay scant heed to it. 

Our ancestors believed that if you give love then your life will glitter with abundance of love and on the other hand if you spread hatred your life will be miserable with hatred from all sides like the wind gushing from all sides to fill emptiness in the atmosphere. 

Giving is a joy much greater than the joy of receiving. Giving is magnetic to attract abundance in life. It is a positive trait to make life meaningful and harmonious. It is an established mysterious law any one can experiment with right earnest and shall receive the results without fail.
