“When you give something away, you experience great karmic gain, since you have thereby not only helped another person, but also freed yourself from attachment to that object. But you engage in your act of generosity only with the other person’s well-being in mind.”
from Infinite Life:
Seven Virtues for Living Well
by Robert Thurman
One of the most important things we can learn is to give generously, not for a ‘thank you’ or even to focus on the ‘great karmic gain’ that is ours, but to give, to fill a need, to share. On balance, though, we also need to learn to receive generously, allowing others to have the experience of giving to us. When we live a Conscious Life, we learn how to do both.
