We
Grow By Giving
In truth, in this world of law, where action and
reaction are equal, all help which is given comes back to the giver, as a ball
thrown against a wall bounds back to the hand of the thrower. That which we
give returns to us; hence, even for a selfish reason, it is well to give, and
to give abundantly. "Cast thy
bread upon the waters, and thou shalt find it after
many days,"
To give, even from a selfish motive, is good, for it
leads to an interchange of worthy human feelings, by which both giver and receiver
grow and expand, so that the Divine within each has opportunity of larger
expression. Even though the gift, at
first, be a matter of calculation – "He that hath
pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord: and look, what he layeth out, it
shall be paid him again" – yet gradually the love evoked shall make future
giving spontaneous and unselfish, and thus karmic links of love shall bind ego
to ego in the long series of human
lives.
All personal links, whether of love or hate, grow out
of the past, and in each life we strengthen the ties that bind us to our
friends and ensure our return together in the lives that lie in front. Thus do
we build up a true family, outside all ties of blood, and return to earth over
and over again to knit closer the ancient bonds.
