No Give & Take, Just Spring in Your Heart

• The problem arises when you give not because the situation needs it, but for your own satisfaction.
• This is happening because human beings are seeking their happiness and peace in so many weird ways.
• They believe that if they give today, they will get peace somewhere else.
• No, peace and joy happen only within you.
• If your humanity is on, you will give where you feel it is needed.
• I would not even call it giving – sharing is very natural for a human being.
• One’s joy multiplies in anything only by sharing.

Unfortunately, we have always tried to teach goodness to people, not human sense. Instead of stirring up the humanity in the human heart, we are always trying to teach morals of goodness.

If you understand the process of life, there is really no give and take.

• Life is so interconnected. If you inhale and exhale, a transaction is happening between you and the plant life around you. This is not a choice. This is the way the life process happens.
• If you are in tune with this constant transaction of giving and receiving – or simply sharing – in your life, you will be in tune with the life process.

Otherwise you will create resistance against the life process by having ideas which are different from the way life happens, and slowly you will suffer.

If you look at most people in this world, they do not look like springtime. They look like they are in the depths of winter. Their hearts have become frosty simply because they are not in tune with life around them. For every other creature on this planet, nature has fixed seasons.

A tree flowers in a certain season. An animal mates in a certain season. For human beings, nature left you free – no seasons.

Nature trusted your intelligence and awareness that, if given a choice, you will naturally choose to be in the best possible way every day of the year.

Nature believed that you will be springtime 365 days, but people have chosen to be winter for all the 365 days. Off and on, springtime flashes once in a way. They smile only when they are tickled.  

These ideas of giving and taking have essentially come because we have lost our life sense. If we have some life sense, we understand that life is a constant transaction. No one can live in exclusiveness. There is something beyond, which is absolute.
