THE WEALTH OF GIVING AND THE POVERTY OF RECEIVING

 

THE WEALTH OF GIVING AND THE POVERTY OF RECEIVING - by Huberto Rohden

 

 

 

It is easy to test the profanity or the sacredness of man: just measuring the intensity of his desire to give or to receive.

 

Who wants and is in need of something is a needy, a poor beggar who still need braces and crutches to bolster his shaky and sick personality. Expect to be rewarded as a mercenary; expect to be compensated, as an incomplete, waiting to be taught.

 

Who is free, rich, healthy, dispenses to be rewarded, compensated, taught.

 

When the divine Self in man is in direct contact with the Infinite, its human ego works as a distributor channel of the goods he receives from the Source; which distributes horizontally what man received vertically, but when does not receives nothing from the vertical Infinite, feels the need to receive horizontally from the finite, the fellow humans.

 

Man who receives vertically from the Infinite, because of his receptiveness, needs less from the finite, horizontally. Finally, this man lives almost with nothing; the problem of subsistence plaguing the profane almost disappears. The more one is in contact with the Infinite, less he wants to have from the world of the finite. He is a Theo-sufficient millionaire!

 

Mahatma Gandhi left when he died a cheap watch an old fountain pen, a pair of glasses, two pairs of sandals, thongs and a few little things. For daily subsistence sufficed him a few rupees. However flowed through the hands of this poor, immense wealth, year by year, millions and millions - all passed, nothing would stop...

 

The ego is so insecure in life that need to fences in all kinds of "life insurance" - but its life still remains insecure...

 

The Self is so sure of itself that did not need any foreign insurance; dwell in the fortress of its divine individuality, which guarantees perfect safety and therefore dispenses fictitious trenches and fortifications.
