GRATITUDE AND GENEROSITY By Wayne Dyer
Audio Produced by CONSEJOS PARA SER FELIZ
Gratitude is the expression of recognition of the uniqueness of universal energy that
Acts in collaboration with your wishes.
THE NATURE OF GRATITUDE
The nature of gratitude is the full and complete response of the human heart to all
What is in the universe. It is the absence of feeling alienation or separation.
It represents our full appreciation and appreciation of the energy that flows through
Of all things and that gives us gifts in the form of the realization of our desires.
Gratitude is a way of recognizing that you should not take anything for granted and, what
Is more important, it constitutes an expression of the complete and unconditional love of the force
Of God, who is in all things. It is a way of being in unity with the force
Of God, in the fullest inner serenity. One way of recognizing that the spirit that
There is within us is the same that sustains all Life on the planet.
Gratitude, then, represents the totality of ourselves. When we feel grateful
And we thank, when we send this kind of loving energy to the world, the same
We asked for the desire of our heart to manifest, we
Complete. Gratitude allows us to feel more connected with what we are
Grateful It annuls any sense of separation and alienation from God. Nature
Of gratitude helps dissipate the idea that we do not have enough, that we will never have
Enough, and that we ourselves are not enough.
If your heart is full of gratitude, you feel grateful for everything and do not focus
Only in what you lack. If your attention, instead, focuses on the scarcity, you are
Communicating to the universal spirit that you need more and that you do not feel grateful for what
That you already have. The nature of gratitude confirms our fullness and abundance, and
Recognizes that we are the recipients of the generosity of others, of Life and of the universal spirit.
Gratitude contributes with a loving response to the whole of creation and our relationship
with this. This relationship illustrates how everything is interconnected and interdependent,
Including the manifestations of our lives. In understanding the nature of gratitude,
We can identify more clearly those things that are within ourselves and
Which are obstacles to practicing gratitude.
OBSTACLES TO GRATITUDE
Gratitude is an inner process. It is an attitude of gratitude that is maintained
Even when things do not show up in the way that we would like. Rumi wrote: "No
You laments for what you do not get. Some of the things that do not happen prevent them from happening
Disasters ". Gratitude is a way of facing the world with love, without prejudice.
The three most common obstacles to an attitude of gratitude stem from the processes
Mental They represent a way of thinking that prevents gratitude from manifesting.
1. Find defects. No doubt you have heard the expression "finding defects". But,
Within the same context, we rarely find the phrase "find love". The
Most of us put much more emphasis on finding flaws than finding
Love
We always have the alternative of looking for defects or finding love. He who devotes himself to the former,
Focuses on what is wrong and what is missing. This center of attention shows critical,
Judgment and anger. The feeling is to be against the manifestations that appear
In the world, rather than to be in favor of what is received.
The initial principles of the demonstration explain that it is essential to remember that what
We think is what expands, as expressed in the phrase: "We will be that which
Let us think. " If you use your mind to think about what is wrong and what is missing, that
It will be precisely what will manifest itself in you. Your inner world is the source of
That you manifest. Find defects instead of feeling grateful and dedicate yourself to finding
Love, it guarantees that you will not be able to participate in the creation of your Life and in the fulfillment
Of your desires.
Finding defects is not something that happens because of what you see in your world. He is the observer
That there is in you who chooses a critical or choleric point of view.
2. Complain. I have a motto that I have used for many years and that is quite simple,
But very effective to overcome this obstacle to the adoption of an attitude of gratitude:
<< Do not complain! Do not explain!".
The complainer always feels cheated and, consequently, feels envy and bitterness
To those who seem to have been blessed with what he lacks. The one who complains
Feels isolated and separated from goodness and joy. Since the fullness of
Life seems to be happening elsewhere, the one who complains is full of
ingratitude.
To practice properly the manifestation of one's desires, it is crucial to have a
Attitude of unconditional love, to feel that you are not alone and that Life is a gift that
You have been granted. The experience of lamenting and feeling deprived leads to anger
Against the universal source that seems to have denied you the benefit of your infinite contribution.
The same attitude of wishing to complain is enough to ensure that you will continue to feel
Cheated in life. Complaining is an expression of the absence of love in your world.
inside. If you feel love, there is no room left for you to bother because God has not given in
To the demands of your ego.
The ego constantly instigates you to need and desire more and tells you to complain
help. The problem is that the ego never feels satisfied. No matter how much
Feed him, he will always bring you a new list of demands almost immediately after
Of having seen the previous ones satisfied. If you give him alcohol until he gets drunk, and sex
Until it collapses into ecstasy, and drugs to make it fly, and money and cars and any
Thing you can think of, the next morning you'll come up with a longer list of demands.
The ego never feels satisfied and lives in accordance with the slogan that always
Is better, and if that does not come more precisely when the ego feels the need, you have
All right to complain.
3. Take for granted what you have. Taking things and people for granted
In your life deprives you of the joy you could experience if you were grateful. Give
Things for granted means passing through Life without perceiving the multitude of gifts
That there is, in each and every one of its moments.
Think about the activities and experiences that you would lose if, suddenly, they disappeared,
And cultivates a consciousness that does not take Life for granted. Strive to stay alert
To seek love. Remember that there are no insignificant moments. Play ball with a
Watching the shape of the clouds in the early hours of the morning, listening to the
Sounds of the seasons, say good night to a loved one ..., each and every one
Of the experiences of Life are an opportunity to experience gratitude or its opposite, a
Feeling of boredom. That's always a decision you make.
Going through life as a sleepwalker is an alternative that prevents the gratitude needed
To become a manifestor. If you take everything for granted, with an absence of joy
And appreciate, you will never be able to see the signs that appear on the surface and that will provide you
The impetus to take action on the desired manifestation. The emergence of
The right person or the unexpected gift that can be the beginning of your manifestation
Will be greeted with a shrug and with a disinterest that will prevent you from receiving
Your blessing
Stay awake and be grateful for everything and everyone.
Change your attitude of ingratitude by imagining, if only for a moment, emptying it
That your Life would be without those blessings. We often do not value our loved ones
And all the gifts of the universe until it is too late and they have abandoned
our lives. I often think of this in relation to my own children. I know that
Soon they will leave our home and live their own lives, with their own
Families. And then I'm surprised to realize how much I love them. Marcelene
And I have acquired the habit of surrounding them with our arms and telling them how fortunate
That we are for the fact that they are part of our lives, and the privileged that
We feel like being their parents.
This act of love prevents us from taking the presence of others for granted. An expression
From gratitude to grandparents, co-workers, spouses and even pilots
Of an airplane, is a way out of the trap of boredom. Stop assuming that
Life is something guaranteed. Show your appreciation for Life and cultivate gratitude.
APPRECIATION AND DEPRECIATION
When we undervalue something, we devalue or diminish its value. We despise things or people
Expressing disapproval or disgust. If we appreciate something or someone, we value it
With our approval and praise. In appreciating things, what we do is increase your
#VALUE
It is impossible to be grateful for something or someone we do not value. Start to
To see things and people as they really are, instead of letting you
The valuation you make of them, which is an internal judgment. Every person is a daughter of
God. Recognize the unfolding of God in every person you meet. So you can
Appreciate it. If you do not do it, you despise it.
Your experience of suffering, emptiness and fear is related to your contempt
For that which appears in your life. Think about everything you criticize regularly and
You will realize what things you have stopped appreciating. If you find defects in
Blacks or whites, Muslims or Jews, Iraqis or Americans,
In young or old, what you are doing is devaluing groups of people.
Once you participate in that process of depreciation, you block your ability to experience gratitude
And, consequently, obstruct your ability to manifest prosperity, love and joy.
Essentially, the activity of depreciation means that you do not perceive the beauty of the
lifetime. Instead of reinforcing the wrong perceptions of your ego, you learn to appreciate the
Things and, therefore, to manifest seeing in the other person or groups of people the Christ
Which gives you your reflection.
CULTIVATE AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
Here are some suggestions to activate the practice of gratitude.
Learn to be grateful for everything you are, for everything you have, and you will strengthen your
Ability to manifest in your Life the essence of everything you desire.
- Learn to imagine yourself as a receiver instead of a victim. Practically all that
That you have in your life, you have thanks to the effort of others. Your furniture, car,
Home, clothes, garden and, yes, even your own body are, in a way, gifts offered
for others. Without the efforts of thousands and thousands of people who work in harmony,
You would have nothing to show in your life.
Even if you are a "self-made person," you could not have gotten very far without the
Gifts of the basic elements you used to make yourself. You only have to
Remember every day this fact and gratitude will begin to replace cynicism.
- Practice the silent expression of gratitude when you begin to see the manifestation of
Your desires from the universal source. All that is needed is a simple and intimate:
"Thank you, my God, I see your work in my Life and I recognize with love my appreciation for everything
That you have given me. " This kind of intimate reminders will keep you from being blocked
For those obstacles you have just heard.
- Become a person willing to tell those around you how much
You appreciate them Make an effort to say out loud how much you love members
Of your family, without turning it into a fictitious ritual. Be willing to say in
Aloud the lovely home you have and how much you appreciate it, or express your appreciation
By someone who washes your clothes or who prepares you an exquisite meal. Do it in a sincere way
And you will see how quickly you find reciprocity and appreciation for this attitude.
You can practice this attitude of gratitude with strangers. Do small favors,
Such as returning the shopping cart to the store, instead of leaving it in the parking lot, or
Tell the waitress how much you appreciate her kind attention to detail. How much
The more willing you are to express gratitude, the more you will cultivate an experience of
Unconditional love which, as you know, is the secret of manifestation.
- Be grateful and complain as little as possible. Remember my personal slogan: "Do not complain!
Do not explain!". Glad when you are about to find fault with someone
Or in some situation. Then, instead, say something that reflects a willingness to
Find love: << Probably, they have not been taught to do this task properly,
Instead of saying: ((There is no one left who knows how to do things well.) I do not know where
This world is going to stop
The more you practice the absence of criticism and complaints, the more you will be filled with love
And appreciate the emptiness in you. Allow yourself a specific period of time to practice
And learn not to complain and find flaws, perhaps for thirty days. You will experience
How you empty yourself of the rancor and the complaints of your interior, and its replacement by the opening
To love, appreciation and gratitude. The presence of unconditional love will lead you to the bottom
Of yourself, wherever the manifestation of your desires is possible.
- Start and end the day with an expression of gratitude and thank you. Every morning,
To get up you have been given the gift of a sunrise and twenty-four hours
of life. It is a precious gift. You have the wonderful opportunity to take advantage of this day and live it
Joyfully, with appreciation for everything you find.
Take a deep breath and be grateful for this magnificent breathing experience.
In Life and in love. Similarly, the day ends with an expression of love
And a repetition of the word peace, Shalom. That word combines the sounds of the manifestation
And that which has appeared to you.
- Be aware of the need to feel grateful for the suffering and struggles
Which are part of the fabric of your life. Sometimes, it is very easy to simply feel
Angry at the suffering, instead of recognizing that that is a catalyst for your search
And wake up.
Your ability to know the power of kindness and love most likely arose from
Of some darkness and pain experienced in the past. Without those experiences, you would follow
stuck. Addictions teach the elixir of purity. Cholera teaches ecstasy
Of love. Ingratitude teaches the need for gratitude. Accumulate teaches pleasure
Of giving. Your pain teaches you to be more aware of your existence and to love others.
Your chickenpox taught you to avoid it later in life, by giving you the opportunity to create
Antibodies in your immune system. Life brings exams! Feel
Grateful for those exams, instead of being critical of them.
- Remember that the nature of thought is to increase. How many more thoughts
Focus on what you lack, the more deficient you will feel and the greater the
Complaints that you will express. Similarly, the more you practice gratitude, the more gratefulness
And I appreciate you will experience everything that life gives you, and the more you will feed
Your experience of abundance and love. And the more you practice it, even with
Small details, the more abundant you will feel and, ultimately, the more
You will attract to yourself.
One of the things I've been doing for years is to offer an expression of appreciation
To God whenever I find a coin, regardless of its value. The coin
Is for me a symbol of prosperity that has been put in my way. I have discovered
I get coins almost every day. A nickel here, one of twenty-five
Cents there, on the sidewalk. They appear regularly, almost like a reminder of
Everything that has manifested in my life. I just collect the coin and say: ((Thank you,
OMG. I know you are working on my Life and I am grateful for this symbol.
Whenever I receive a coin in this way, I feel the desire to extend the favor to others,
With some form of generosity. Our gratitude will ultimately extend to generosity
And in service to others.
GENEROSITY AND SERVICE: THE FINAL STEP IN THE MANIFESTATION
The natural extension of feeling grateful is the development of a generous heart.
Perfect generosity is the will to give of oneself and of everything that has
Manifested without expecting anything in return. It may seem paradoxical to you that the final phase of
The manifestation of the desire of your heart is to share generously what you have
Received and turn your attention away from what you have asked to be manifested. However, if
You review all the principles of the spiritual manifestation, you will realize that this is
Consistent with what we have said so far.
The manifestation involves connecting with the universal spirit, which is infinite and abundant in
Its variety. It is not a question of seeing one's own needs, but rather of feeling complete
With that radiant abundance. It is not about yearning and asking. It is about expressing a love
Unconditional and to attract that abundant love to your individual Life. While you are in your
Physical body, you will have desires. You do not have to be ashamed of it or not feel
spiritual. Your body and the physical needs of your material being can be satisfied
With abundant gifts, and will be as long as you do not allow your ego to be made again
With the control of your life.
Feeling the presence of that abundance, your sense of gratitude will push you into
The direction of generosity. It is in the expression of your generosity that you will feel
More connected with the unconditional love of the universal spirit. The more you feel the
Desire to share unconditionally what you receive, the more you will experience the flow
Of it in your life.
GENEROSITY AND SELF-LIBERATION
Generosity is useful for your own liberation insofar as it teaches you the quality
Interior of detachment. Unleash yourself and free yourself from the things you feel
More attached is the best way to free yourself from your ego. The need to cling to the
Things and the money you receive arises from the feeling of being incomplete. The practice
Of generosity aligns with your sense of love and fullness.
The generosity that gives you freedom from your ego extends far beyond sharing
Simply your material possessions. Generosity means offering kindness,
Care, love and nutrition where they are needed. In addition, the spirit of generosity
Can relate, and ultimately relates to how we deal with
to ourselves. If you have a generous heart that does not distress you, you will
Yourself in a loving way, and you will nourish yourself without any sense of guilt.
If you are able to give freely, in an unconditional act of love, without expectations, you experience
Which I consider to be a total freedom. You give up clinging to your cocky ego,
Which encourages you to believe in limitation and competition. This ability to give without
Conditions is also an acknowledgment that what has been manifested in your
Life comes from an infinite supply and that you can never experience a consciousness
Of scarcity because you know that you are part of that infinite supply.
GIVE AND RECEIVE: THE WAY THE UNIVERSE WORKS
Each time you inhale and exhale, you participate in a giving and receiving process that is vital
For the material and spiritual world. With each inhalation you absorb oxygen and nitrogen
You need to exist, and with each exhalation you return the carbon dioxide you
It nourishes the whole world of plants. The cycle of give and take generously is exactly
The same as the act of breathing.
Look around you and see that everything in our universe is a result of giving and receiving.
The whole food chain represents giving and taking life, then giving back in a
Infinite cycle of material manifestation. Worms that eat birds, droppings
Of these, the food that is the bird, the recycling of the bird meat and so on.
All this has to happen here, in this universe. It is not something that comes out and then comes back
to enter. It is simply a process of giving and receiving different forms of energy.
The iron in your bloodstream is part of the infinite supply of iron that
Will return in another way once you have left the physical world, perhaps in the
Wings of a bat. You bring your own iron offer and you take the same. Give and take
Is a natural function of life.
The natural flow of giving and receiving can be stopped with stinginess and accumulation. The process
It works the same way on a spiritual level. You send love and kindness, that you are
Returned multiplied by ten. The old saying: "As you do, so will you" is
More than a judicious advice. It is a fact of the universe, at all levels of
awareness. In fact, that is precisely the manifestation.
You send loving energy to connect with what you want and it is returned to you.
It is a giving and receiving action. However, you can interfere with this natural progression
Of giving and receiving by selfishly clinging to what manifests in your material world
And stop the flow of energy that brings abundance. This awareness of scarcity is
Ego work, which always feels incomplete because it is convinced that it is separate
of God.
CREATE AN ATTITUDE OF GENEROSITY
Here are a few suggestions to put generosity in your practice of manifestation
And maintain the natural flow of give and take that moves your life.
- Recognize in the first place that this is a way of being that can be developed. Maybe
Be convinced that giving is impossible because you have too little for yourself.
If you are not generous when it is difficult, you will not be when it is easy for you.
Generosity is a function of the heart, not of the wallet.
You can give of yourself, share what little you have with those who are most in need.
A generous heart is one that does not impose limitations on your ability to be generous
With others, and does not do so by reward or recognition. You can grow this
Attitude of generosity and practicing it by sending love and kindness as often as
Possible. Ultimately, it will infect others and lead you to a greater manifestation
Of the desires of your heart.
- Think of the multitude of things you do every day for others, including animals
And the environment of which you are part, and consider them as ways of practicing generosity. Talk
With a lonely neighbor, feed a stray cat, open a door, pay anonymously
The toll of the car that comes after you, pick up your children from school, pass the
Vacuum the carpet, fill the car's gas tank for your wife or
That you can think of in the thousands of actions you perform each day. Remember that you practice
Generosity, rather than feeling ignored or unappreciated.
And, most important, remember that giving without expectation of recognition is truly
The work of your higher self. The ego needs and demands to be honored with the greatest
Possible frequency, accompanied by a great fanfare. Try to keep in the
Intimacy your acts of generosity, without bragging about your great generous spirit.
- Be aware of the inner resistance that arises within you when you feel the momentum
Of giving. Your fear of not having enough for yourself and your family, your doubts about
If others are truly in need, your shyness or embarrassment, the fact that
The others do not appreciate it properly or that they may ask only for more, they are impulses
Which you must respect as valid. All these doubts and fears should be examined without
Prejudices. They represent a part of your conditioned response to generosity.
When giving because one has a generous spirit and to extend love, and not for any other
Reason, all those doubts fade away. I am often criticized when I give money
In the street to an obvious drug addict. When they tell me: "With that money they will only buy
More drug ", my answer is:" What you do with money has nothing to do
With the reason for which I have given it. This human being who connects with another in a spirit
Of love, it can be the act of affability and generosity that brings you a little closer to
God, where genuine healing takes place. "
- Propose to practice generosity during certain periods, particularly for
help others.
Sometimes I watch my youngest son playing football on his own, kicking the
Ball and wishing someone played with it. Then I remind myself the need
Of forgetting the millions of things I have to do, my state of fatigue, my desire
To watch a video or whatever, and I dedicate the next few hours to simply share my
Time with him. I do not do it because it is magnanimous, but because it is an opportunity to be generous
With my time and with my love. It also gives me the glorious opportunity to do something that
I really love it, that is to be with my boy, whom I love tenderly.
- Practice the virtue of receiving. Accept the help when others offer it to you. It allows
Others do something for you, without feeling embarrassed or feeling
That your independence is threatened. Remember that giving and receiving constitute the exchange
Natural energy of the universe. That is the very source of your practice of manifestation.
By rejecting the help offered to you, you interrupt the natural flow of energy, in the same way
That when you reject giving. Practice and say: "Thank you, I appreciate your help", even though
Your ego says, "I really do not need it." Receiving is part of spiritual practice
Of manifestation, and it is up to you to allow that to happen in your life, with gratitude
and love.
- Discover yourself the moment you experience ingratitude and use that
Moment to practice your new generosity. Once you perceive the scarcity, your inclination
Immediate will be to accumulate, but dedicate to accumulate does nothing but expand the effects
Of your feelings of stinginess and fear.
This may be as simple as giving a tip higher than expected, or it may
Imply expressing love or a compliment to those to whom you practice your behavior
Of scarcity. In those moments, let yourself be guided by your higher self, who wishes to experience
Joy and peace and manifest a little generosity. Remember that a generous spirit infuses
Joy and strength to the mind. This is precisely how you will feel when you have
Conditioned response that induces you to accumulation and stinginess.
- Practice giving a little more than you think you can give, and a little more than you
Be comfortable. Be something more patient with a child, give your spouse a passionate hug
More prolonged than the superficial embrace to which he is accustomed, give a madman
More money than usual or the waitress who took care of you during your stay in the
Hotel
Try to go beyond your limit of generosity, with the full assurance that it will not
Cause no difficulty in your life. It also knows that that will give you a sense
Of spiritual realization that will make you feel closer to God, and that will really put you
In contact with your higher self.
You can also try to be a little more generous than usual with yourself. Asks
That dish from the menu that costs a little more, or give yourself a few extra days of vacation,
Or allow yourself the luxury of applying a relaxing body or facial massage.
GET TO PROJECT YOUR GENEROSITY AS A SERVICE
In this world we all live with other people; Our encounters and relationships with them
Constitute a fundamental component of our Life and influence ourselves and the
the rest. << Service »is a word we do not usually think of as part of our
Way of being in current relationships. But the truth is that the service to others
Can not be separated from relations. We will all benefit from assuming this as a
Conscious activity of our daily lives in relation to God, with our fellow men,
Our surroundings and ourselves.
Millions of fibers connect us with our fellow beings and, through them, we are
Connected with all the human beings that inhabit our planet. When cultivating an attitude
Of gratitude and generosity, you will discover that you wish to be useful to others. It will seem to you
Then natural to extend to others what you receive and put it to your
Deposition
If you receive a great teaching, you will want to teach it to others. If you receive love, you will want to project
That love unconditionally to the outside. You will automatically perceive your relationships
As gifts to put them at the service of others.
As you contemplate the purpose of your Life on the material plane, you will discover that the only
That you can do with this Life is to deliver it. You can not cling to anything in a universe
Which is constantly changing. You can not set rights on anything. Everything is transient.
The only part of yourself that is permanent, that which does not change, is the spiritual essence
Which resides in an invisible dimension. You will find purpose and strength when you see
You are related to all other living beings, and you will have a purpose and you will feel
At peace with yourself when you serve others in some measure.
The very purpose of the manifestation is to serve more fully and leave behind
Ego-dominated conceit. Your well-being, which is the purpose of the practice of
Manifestation, is genuinely and inextricably connected with the lives and well-being of
others. Essentially, your interests are inseparable from the interests of others.
It is this recognition of our fundamental interconnection that allows us to realize
That we are all in a constant situation of service with each other. Is this
Consciousness that we want to keep as the most important in our mind, as we
That we generate this principle of spiritual manifestation.
Service is the option we have each of us to show a useful attitude
And healing others, as well as ourselves. One of the natural consequences of feeling
Grateful for the manifestations of our daily Life is to experience the inclination
To be generous. Gratitude, generosity and a helpful attitude, taken as our
Purpose, constitute the fundamental values of the latter principle.
By assuming service to others as one of the purposes of your Life and leaving behind
The conceit, you discover the irony of the manifestation. The more you decide to wear
To the service of others, the more deeply you will experience unconditional love and so many
More things will materialize in your life.
The service should be seen as a center of attention in your life, not something that is limited
To certain kinds of giving and sharing activities. Service is a state of mind that expresses
Love, rather than fear, and trust rather than mistrust. And that makes us see the
Others as equals with whom we share a spiritual identity. This inner attitude
Of love is manifested in your actions.
By accepting a commitment to give a conference, I want to be love and to share generously
That I have been given. I have discovered that when I am about to address a large audience,
The best way out of my ego, which is focused on its own rewards, as
Applause, making money and receiving prizes, consists of meditating for an hour before
Of the conference. The mantra I repeat during my meditations is: << How can I help
To others? I repeat these words over and over again until they merge to form
A peaceful inner attitude. Then, when I get ready to speak the conference, center
All my attention in serving and I do not get caught by my ego. In this state of mind, I enjoy
Of a loving guide that helps me serve all those who are part of the public.
Serving others does not mean that you have to become a mother Teresa. Will serve
To others leaving the ego in suspense and extending the love that now fills that space.
It can take a million different forms, but when practiced with authenticity,
From the heart, makes everything that has manifested in your life worthwhile.
You will only find it difficult to adopt this attitude of serving others in your
Life if you do it without love. The moment you impose a condition at your service,
Or that you ask for something in return, or that you hope that your offer will serve to get it back,
Accompanied by the appropriate response of thanks, you introduce a conditional element,
Before an unconditional love. The imposition of a condition then makes the service
Is empty.
If you are going to serve another, ask yourself if you can love the human being you want to serve.
If you can not, do not deliver anything without love and just pass and send a blessing
Silent. If you have the feeling that someone simply begs alms
By laziness or the desire to avoid work, and you feel that in the depths of your heart,
Do not give him anything Service without love is obligation, and carries with it guilt, anger and resentment.
Work to achieve a state of unconditional love in your efforts to be useful to others,
And if you did not perceive true love, recognize it as well.
This concludes this principle of spiritual manifestation. Be willing to take everything
What you have attracted to you as a result of your practice of these principles of
Manifestation, and then return it with a spirit of gratitude and generosity,
To an act of service. The more you practice this way, the more you will see how they materialize
Regularly the objects of your desire. There need be no conflict between
Your spiritual awareness of wanting to serve others and the presence of your own desires.
As Rumi observed almost a millennium ago: ((People who renounce desires become
Often, suddenly, in hypocrisy. "
You have desires, both materially and in terms of being more spiritually loving
And generous at the service of others. Both things do not have to conflict.
