The Law of Giving and Receiving ---By Vered (Tanmayo) Neta

Ever since I remember, I've loved to give.
I used to give my notebooks to other kids, share my clothes and even give away gifts I had received for my birthday.
My mother used to criticize me and say that I was trying to buy their friendship.
Maybe she was right, but I found pleasure giving and sharing my things.

As I grew older, I found out that most people think like my mother.
I tried to hide it by volunteering for all kinds of activities.
But then again I got the message that I was wasting my time, as I "don't get paid for all the hard work".
Finally, I stopped.

After many years, I found myself feeling dead inside without any real joy.
I realized that I had given up a source of happiness - the gift of giving.
With this realization, I began practicing the Law of Giving and Receiving.
Whether material things, mental concepts or just blessings.

This newsletter is one of our ways of giving.
It is our opportunity to share our experience and knowledge.
After a year, I'm amazed at how much we have received out of it.
I am grateful to all those people who allowed us to share our life with them.

This is how the Law of Giving and Receiving works.

Giving is the other side of receiving.
Therefore if you wish to receive anything in your life, you first need to give it.
It is that simple.

If you wish happiness, simply give happiness to the people around you.
If you wish love, simply give love.
If you wish friendships, joy or abundance simply give it to the people around you and you will receive loads of it.

When you withhold your giving, you are withholding your source of abundance.
You are stopping the flow of your own energy and you suffocate.
No wonder I felt joyless and dead when I stopped giving.

Sounds a little too easy, doesn't it?

Where's the catch?

The catch is that you have to give without expecting anything in return.
Giving for the sake of giving.
Only then the flow begins.
The intention behind the giving is the most important.
The intention has to be for the creation of happiness, harmony, peace and joy, as these are fundamental to life.
The reward will be there when you give from your heart and without condition.

Giving should be a joyful act, just as a child bringing a flower to his mother.

Albert Schweitzer said, "The one who gives is the one that receives most".

The easiest way to fulfill your wishes is by supporting others to achieve their wishes.
This principle is true to individuals, organizations, businesses and nations.
If you wish to be blessed with all the good things in life, learn to give a blessing to all that surrounds you.

Even a thought and silent blessing has the power to start the flow of giving and receiving.

Start practicing the Law of Giving and Receiving and watch your life become abundant and joyful.

Vivekanda.......the legend

Swami Vivekananda
The Complete Works

"Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this Divinity within by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by Work, or Worship, or Psychic control, or Philosophy - by one, or more, or all of these - and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details."

"As the different streams having their sources in different places all mingle their water in the sea, so, O Lord, the different paths which men take through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to Thee."

ONE STORY!!!!

ONE STORY!!!!

Last night you and your best friend had a fight.

You decide not to talk to her the next day.

She smiles at you.

You grind your teeth at her.

She tells her friends nice things about you.

You spread bad rumors about her.

She tries to come and talk to you.

But you push her aside.

She thinks you are a great friend.

You think she is a terrible friend.

She writes nice notes to you, telling you about the best times you shared together. You write about all the bad times you can remember experiencing together.

Deep down you know she's sorry.

But all you have is hate.

The next day you find a note. It reads:

Dear -------------,

I tried to tell you yesterday, but you didn't let me speak,

I tried to tell you good things,but you were afraid to hear them.
I tried to smile at you, to take away the hate.

But now it's time to tell you, even though it's a bit late. That i am dying.

I have a bad condition and it is getting worse. I'm sorry to
have to tell you that i won't be able to see you today. I wrote
this to you today in the hospital.

My time is up.

I'm sorry i should have told you sooner.

I'm really sorry about our argument,you are such a great friend.
I promise i shall watch over you,

Lots of love

-------------

You run to the hospital to tell her you are sorry,

But only her mum is left.

Her hand clasped over her face.

And she was crying. Down on her knees she prays, for her daughter to come back.

You are too late.

You wish you told her sorry sooner and got to say goodbye.

All friends have their ups and downs, and sometimes you need to say sorry.. Don't wait for the other person to do it first.

Because you never know what could happen.

If you really love your friends and would watch down on them when you pass away, please send this on and show people that you really have a heart.

Even if you send this to 1 person only. You still have a heart.

However, if you don't send this to anyone....i can tell you that when you need help, no one will be there for you because they will not remember this letter.
