The law of donations says that if a person takes and gives correctly, he never loses anything. We must take and give at the same time, this is the secret of great wisdom. A person who does not live for himself, that is, does everything for other people or for God, takes something for his needs only out of necessity, when he cannot simply live without it.
Suppose you need to eat, you need to dress, you need to have an apartment, you also need to feed your children.
The law of donations is a very serious subject and the one who comprehends it, gains material wealth and can develop good character traits.
What can you donate? You can donate:
- our funds, what we earn, - you can donate your Knowledge
- you can sacrifice your thoughts, - you can donate your body, Promotional video:
- you can sacrifice your feelings, - you can donate your life energy.
In all cases, there will be some result, but always different. Can anyone be given a donation?
All and everyone can donate only their benevolent thoughts. When a person in his mind wishes everyone happiness, then these wishes can be given to everyone without exception. Even murderers, even absolutely degraded personalities.
Donation in the mind
We should wish everyone happiness, this is the essence of donation in the mind. A mental donation made constantly gives tremendous strength in any endeavors. Whatever a person undertakes, he is pursued by success, be it material or spiritual endeavors. All that he wants to have in his life, he will receive if he simply mentally wishes everyone happiness out of a sense of duty.
Who can give donations
A donation should not be given to anyone and everyone unless it is a donation of thought. The person should know to whom what donations should be given. If a person does not know this, then he will undoubtedly degrade, because a donation can bring both good and harm.
Sometimes people, driven by compassion, give alms to beggars, and they drink this money away. The one who gives such a donation and the one who receives will both suffer in the future.
Donation of Knowledge
In addition to donations by thoughts, there is another type of donation that can be given to everyone, with only one condition that the person wants to accept this donation.
If a person does not want to accept, then you should never make this kind of donation. Knowledge donation is the most exalted kind of donation if it is real Knowledge.
How to determine if knowledge is real or not?
First, it is necessary to determine what kind of knowledge we are talking about, since there is material knowledge and spiritual knowledge.
Material knowledge is temporary and exists within the framework of either some specialty, or within the framework of this universe.
Spiritual Knowledge is eternal, concrete, true and absolute. And, what is important, real Knowledge brings happiness to a person! Fake knowledge brings either delusion or suffering.
How can you tell if knowledge brings happiness? Life becomes easier and more meaningful in life. A person can give a donation of knowledge only when they want to listen to him.
The Vedas say this is the highest type of donation. If a person sacrifices Knowledge, then he burns all his sins, it is like a forest fire that destroys trees.
All types of donations fall into three categories:
- In goodness.
- In passion.
- In ignorance.
The person who has realized this gradation of donations acquires the ability to give, not to lose anything, and by acquiring, not to become attached to it.
If a person, acquiring, becomes attached to some thing with his senses, which, like the tentacles of the mind, have a material nature, then this attachment is completely material, quite real. And if you take this thing from a person, then he experiences suffering, too, quite real.
Therefore, the law of donations states:
a person should never consider anything as his own. One should know that everything belongs to God.
If a person receives such Knowledge, then he understands that everything that he uses is necessary in order to live not for himself. Without things, without objects, without tools, without money, without food, without food, a person cannot do anything.
A person, performing some action, determines why he needs it. If you determine in your apartment what you need each item for, you will probably want to give half of the items to someone else.
However, with the help of the Law of Donations, a person can have exactly as much funds as he needs to achieve his goals, whatever they may be.
If a person wants to achieve some goal in life, then he must engage in donations in goodness. In this case, he will undoubtedly receive the necessary funds.
But if the funds received are used to buy unnecessary things, a person should blame himself if he does not have enough funds to achieve his goal.
One who is always aware of the purpose of acquiring a particular thing, acts in goodness.
Anyone who acquires a thing simply because he liked it - enters into passion.
And the one who acquires a thing in order to harm someone, acts in ignorance.
The thing that a person acquires in goodness becomes an instrument for achieving the goal. The thing that he acquires in passion takes away his vital energy. And the thing that he buys in ignorance causes him suffering.
How to donate correctly
Each person has something to sacrifice, each person can sacrifice in this world, at least mentally wish everyone happiness. You need to know how to do it.
Even wish everyone happiness can be wrong, out of selfish motives. -
- “I wish everyone happiness, I wish everyone happiness, when will the liver pass? I wish everyone happiness, I wish everyone happiness, it still hurts. I wish everyone happiness. He deceived all of us, this Oleg Gennadievich, the liver does not go away. I wish everyone happiness."
This does not work, since such a donation in passion has a connection with the result. It was not directed towards the benefit of others, but ultimately selfish. If you do it for yourself, it is a passion donation.
A benevolent donation is made out of a sense of duty, not to get something in return. The ability to make a donation in goodness is very difficult. It is given only to those who have the Knowledge of how to live not for themselves. It is very difficult for others to live. Whatever you do, the same thought flies into your head anyway: “What will I get from this?
If a person does something unselfishly, then he receives something in return in accordance with the law of donations.
If a person disinterestedly gives what is needed to someone who is less worthy, or equal to himself, then he receives in return the same amount of funds for his life as he gave.
For example, he wishes happiness to someone who is not worthy to receive something material from him - he will receive in return a wish for happiness addressed to him.
The principle is that a person does not lose anything by making a donation in goodness, that is, out of a sense of duty.
It should be understood that a person sacrificing to someone who stands above him receives exactly as much as this person occupies a higher position not in terms of government portfolios, but in terms of spiritual purity, development as a person.
For example, if someone is lucky enough to donate in goodness, disinterestedly to a holy person, then the person acquires a million times more than he had before, opportunities to achieve his goal.
People are at different levels. Although we all live together, nevertheless, everyone has their own level of consciousness. And there are people who have a million times more consciousness, purity. And by making a donation in goodness to someone who has a higher level of consciousness, a person gains many times more.
This is how the law of donations works. The question is where to find such a spiritual person, for example, a priest, and also so that, having identified him, we do not have a desire to receive a million times more, which is very difficult. Therefore, in general, the law is serious and you must learn to apply it all your life.
A person is not able to live this life without donations, because there is a very strong obstacle in achieving our goals, which consists of the reactions of our past bad deeds. Our past bad actions eat up our ability to achieve our goal. When we are young, we think that there are no obstacles for me, and then some circumstances arise, and the person thinks: “This is an accident, just unlucky, next time lucky.” But this is not an accident - it is the consequences of our past wrong actions that prevent us from reaching our goal. Therefore, at all costs, a person must learn to sacrifice every second of his life, and then his goal will be achieved, there is no doubt about it.
Donations in goodness are given to a worthy person. Worthy does not mean titled. A decent person is just a good person.
Donation should not be given to the place.
Some places are given a donation. Temple, library. Donations are always given to a person. In any temple, in any library, anywhere, anywhere, there are people. Look at those people to whom you donate, and you will see whether it is necessary to do it or not. Also, in order to give a donation, you need to know the status of the person to whom you donate.
For example, you can give a donation of funds to a priest, you can give a beggar person who leads a blissful lifestyle, but a donation of food should be given to any hungry person.
Eating can not be forbidden to anyone. If, for example, the same alcoholic asks you for something, what should be done? Wish him happiness if you have no food, if you have food - you must give him something to eat. You can't give him money, he won't buy food, but vodka.
Each person, by fate, has times when he will have to starve, almost everyone, with the exception of those who give food donations. If a person gives food donations, then at the moment when he has to face hunger, he will be given food, fed. Since there are 365 days in a year, and there is a hunger strike for a maximum of a year, if a person at least 365 times gave food to some hungry person - at least a year he can save himself from hunger. And in a year you can think of something. These are the results of giving in goodness.
Donations should be given in order to achieve excellence in life. By giving a donation, and not feeling the strength to refuse to receive something in return, you can wish something for yourself. It is best to wish yourself pure Knowledge instead.
Giving something a person can say: "I am doing this in order to receive pure Knowledge."
Pure knowledge means knowledge that leads a person to perfection. Perfection means happiness. If a person becomes happy, this means that he receives true Knowledge. It is impossible to be happy without Knowledge.
It should be noted that a donation should be given immediately if you see some personality traits. If you see that a person is very humble, and humility is not determined by the fact that a person nods to everyone and makes way for everyone, humility is determined by the ability to surrender the good that belongs to you to another person, while not demanding anything in return.
If a person says “please,” “goodbye,” smiles at everyone affectionately, this may not be humility, but simply a game of humility. If you take something from such a person, then the claws can immediately crawl out and all humility disappears.
Also, we can give donations to a person who lives in hardship. How to determine that a person is living in deprivation? It is enough to ask him how much he sleeps and how much he eats. If a person sleeps very little and eats very little, then he lives in conscious deprivation. Such a person can be given a donation, it will be a donation in goodness.
A very pure person can also be given a donation. How can you tell if a person is very pure? When you approach a person who is very clean and begin to communicate, then peace comes. Except when a young girl approaches a young guy. Here, peace comes naturally, this is a completely different kind of peace.
So how can you sacrifice your knowledge in goodness? Only if they want to listen to you. If a person tries to explain something to someone, but they do not listen to him, he begins to swear and say: “Oh, you are such rubbish! I want to help you, but you don’t want to listen.” This is a sacrifice in ignorance. A person who donates knowledge in ignorance gets very big problems in his life. He will find himself either in a totalitarian country or in a totalitarian family, where they will not ask him whether he wants to do something or not. He will just do what he is told.
Trying to make a sacrifice from good goals in ignorance, using violence by word, deed or thought, we will undoubtedly receive exactly the same violence in response.
There is one thing in which you should never commit violence - this is knowledge. If you are going to advise someone something, you need to check ten times whether the person wants to listen to it or not. If he doesn't want to listen, then you can't explain anything to him. Moreover, you aim it against this knowledge.
The donation of knowledge to passion takes place when a person pursues a selfish goal.
For example, you are a vegetarian and your husband eats meat. You are trying to give him knowledge so that he does not interfere with your being a vegetarian. This is a passion donation. The result will be such that the best deed that people will do in relation to me will have selfish motives. And this good deed will disgust you.
When a person is selfish and gives something to someone, then the other person automatically flares up selfishness. If we give out of good intentions, then a person has good intentions in response when he takes this thing.
If we, giving something, want to receive something ultimately for ourselves, then a person, accepting this donation, will also want, ultimately, something for himself. Therefore, a donation in passion leads to the fact that a person simply loses this thing, not receiving anything in return. It just loses everything. The thing is missing. This is a useless waste of mental and physical energy.
So, donation in ignorance means that we give something to a person and we want to make something mean out of it.
The sacrifice of knowledge in ignorance means that a person will be deceived all his life. If a person gives knowledge in order to deceive another, even true knowledge, such a person will also be deceived all his life. And in the end, he will be completely discouraged.
For example, some religious figures, even realizing that a person needs to be given knowledge in order for him to love his neighbor as himself, discuss among themselves: "This one fell for the bait, this one did not fall for it."
If they do this, it means that they are deceiving a person with the help of knowledge. Undoubtedly, a person who is caught or not caught gets his own in this life, but whoever treats him in this way will fall for the bait himself. Everyone will deceive him.
Donating your energy to goodness means working for the temple where holy people live, for an honest person.
For example, cooking a good person to eat is a donation of your energy.
Also time is energy, donating your time to someone is also a donation in goodness.
In general, donating property, money, is the most difficult donation, and the most easily accomplished donation, which undoubtedly benefits, is donating food to hungry people.
Passion sacrifice is made in order to receive something in return. When a person sacrifices something in passion - he never gets something in return for himself. He just gives and that's it, that's where it ends. If a person wants something in return, when he donates, he gets nothing, neither good nor bad.
If, for example, a person worked unselfishly, but suddenly, at some point he wanted to enjoy the fruits of his labor, then, as much as he wants to enjoy the fruits of his labor, his labor is so negative.
For example, a person disinterestedly did something, and then he says: “Well, I worked for you, now let you work for me!” - and bangs his fists on the table. People begin to work for him and he just gets his own - that is where it all ends, there can be no talk of any donation.
Donating in goodness also includes giving selfless energy to your children. Selflessness means not wanting to get anything from them in return.
“I am raising you so that you are a good person and then treat me well,” is a sacrifice in passion.
A benevolent donation suggests that the parents simply want to make the child a good person, not wanting anything in return. If they do this, then the higher powers will give them a lot of good, because to educate a person well is a very great merit in goodness.
If a person brings up another person in passion, wanting something in return, then the child will be selfish. If you see that your child is selfish, then this means that this is exactly what you did. This must be borne in mind.
The next donation in passion is a donation that is made reluctantly. "Well, okay, let's give it, okay." There is very little use for all donations in passion, although it is better to give them than to be greedy
Repentance for making donations out of self-interest: “Why did I give so much?” Also suggests that the donation was made in passion.
A donation will be classified as passion if it is made at the request of a superior: "You must give part of your salary." It already looks like a robbery, and there is nowhere to go.
Passionate donations include giving funds to organizations that do not use those funds for good purposes.
For example, you think: "I want to donate my money for the development of television in our country." And it develops - and shows, for example, more and more of something unworthy, for example, pornography. This means that you have sacrificed in passion.
Knowledge in goodness at first grieves, because it reveals to a person his shortcomings, then it brings happiness.
Knowledge in passion first inspires a person, because it is given in order to somehow interest a person, then a person sees that all this is useless. And knowledge in ignorance always brings suffering.
The category of donations in ignorance includes donations made in an unclean or inappropriate place.
For example, a brothel, train station, restroom. You can't give any donations in money at the station, except for food.
In a place where ignorance reigns, at a train station, for example, even if a random person simply starts asking everyone for donations, his head will be unscrewed by those people who constantly earn money this way. There is a high probability of this.
Therefore, if at the station they come to you and say: “This and that, this and that,” give this person a piece of bread, and if he refuses: “I need money,” you say, “No, go on.”
Donations should not be made in an unclean place. These are donations in ignorance. What will be the result? The result will be such that not only will the amount of money decrease if you give it to ignorant people in an ignorant place, but this money will then be directed against you. You become a slave to this money, it chokes you later.
Donating at the wrong time also refers to donating in ignorance. For example, there is a bombing raid. People are running to save themselves. You stop the person and say: "I want to donate knowledge to you." He says: "Listen, it will cover us now." This is not the right time to donate knowledge.
What types of donations can you make right away without hesitation?
It is necessary to give food to a hungry person.
Also, without hesitation, we must wish everyone happiness.
These are two types of donations, in which, 100%, you will not go wrong. If you give bread to someone with the desire that they also give me bread when I am hungry, then even in this case everything will come true, bread will be given, since food donation is a special type of donation. The very desire to feed someone is very important. But it is better, of course, to do it out of compassion. However, even when a person makes a donation of food with the thought: “Maybe they will donate to me too,” in this case, his heart still softens. The next time he donates, he has compassion for the one to whom he donates, and when compassion appears, this is a donation in goodness. Therefore, if a person feeds other people, it is only a matter of time - when he will begin to do it in good health. It is no coincidence that the Vedas notethat the donation of food in our era is equivalent to making a donation of gold.
Similarly, when a person wishes everyone happiness, at first he does it for himself, gradually he becomes cleansed and already simply wants happiness for all people, not wanting anything in return. There is no need to despair, everyone has selfish motives at first - this is natural.
