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.
