THE MIRACLE OF MIRACLES – THE MORE WE GIVE, THE MORE WE HAVE

THE MIRACLE OF MIRACLES –

THE MORE WE GIVE, THE MORE WE HAVE

· Because your body and your mind and the universe are in constant and dynamic exchange, stopping the circulation of energy is like stopping the flow of blood. Whenever blood stops flowing, it begins to clot, to coagulate, to stagnate. That is why you must give and receive in order to keep wealth and affluence – or anything you want in life –circulating in your life.

If we stop the circulation of money- if our only intention is to hold on to our money and hoard it –since it is like energy, we will stop its circulation back into our lives as well. In order to keep that energy coming to us, we have to keep it circulating. Like a river, money must keep flowing, otherwise it begins to stagnate, to clog, to suffocate and strangle its very own life force. Circulation keeps it alive and vital.-Deepak Chopra

· “What! Giving again?” I ask I dismay.

“And must I keep giving and giving away?”

“Oh no,” said the angel, looking me through.

“Just keep giving till the master stops giving to you!”

-Anon

· One of the most potent spiritual principles in the universe, a basic fact of successful living is that to receive the good things of this life you must give.

But one must not give with any ulterior motive in mind. Rather, on should give because it is the wise thing, the right thing to do. One should give out of a spirit of compassion, as a mother does things for her little child, for her sick child, with no thought of her own health or comfort.

· In every seed is the promise of thousands of forests. But the seed must not be hoarded ; it must give its intelligence to the fertile ground. Through its giving, its unseen energy flows into material manifestation.

· If you want joy, give joy to others; it you want love, learn to give love; if you want attention and appreciation, learn to give attention and appreciation; if you want material affluence, help others to become materially affluent.

· The easies way to get what you want is to help others get what they want. This principle works equally well for individuals, corporations, societies, and nations. If you want to be blessed with all the good things in life, learn to silently bless everyone with all the good things in life.

Even the thought of giving, the thought of blessing, or a simple prayer has the power to affect others. Any time you come into contact with anyone, give him or her something. It doesn’t have to be in the form of material things; it could be a flower, a compliment, or, yes, a prayer. In fact, the most powerful forms of giving are non-material. The gifts of caring, attention, affection, appreciation, love and service are some of the most precious gifts you can give, and they don’t cost you anything.

When you meet someone, you can silently impart to him/her a blessing, wishing the person concerned much happiness, joy and laughter. This kind of silent giving is very powerful.

Make a decision to give wherever you go, whomever you see or meet. As long as you’re giving, you will be receiving. The more you give, the more confidence you will gain in the miraculous effects of this law. And as you receive more, your ability to give more will also increase.-Deepak Chopra

· “Service is wonderful; one should never evade it. The body belongs to the Lord; let it be of use to others. Those who do so are dear to the Lord. Also the blessings earned from others are a powerful protection.

THERE ARE THREE KINDS OF SERVICE:

FIRST:

Material service, e.g., helping others with money, food, clothes, medicines, etc.

SECOND:

Physical service or service with the body , e.g., cleaning places, carrying water , serving food, etc.

THIRD:

Service with the mind, e.g., sending our good vibrations, wishing others well, praying to God for the welfare of others, etc. In the context of subtlety, service with the mind is the highest service: nothing can be compared with that. It is concealed service and cannot be seen by others. Service with mind brings in immense bliss that is superior to material pleasures. A jiva who sends good wishes or vibrations to others, also helps himself. The good wishes or vibrations that are sent out influence others and affect the sender in return. He who is without good wishes is far from God. If you desire your own wellbeing, you must wish others well.”-Dr Rochaldas

· A cell is alive and healthy when it is in a state of balance and equilibrium. This state of equilibrium is one of fulfillment

And harmony, but it is maintained by constant give and take. Each cell gives to and supports every other cell, and in turn is nourished by every other cell. The cell is always in a state of uninterrupted dynamic flow. In fact, the flow is the very essence of the life of the cell. And only by maintaining this flow of giving is the cell able to receive and thus continue its vibrant existence. –Anon

· In order to understand the principle of giving and receiving, visualize a circle of people in which each person is giving to and receiving from another person in the circle. When everything is moving freely around the circle, everyone receives the benefit of whatever is circulating, including the energy, which is increasing its rate of vibration. If even one person holds on to anything the flow stops, and everyone feels the block in energy as well as the drop in the rate o vibration. Giving is another joy producer.-Arnold Patent
