बड़ा हुआ तो क्या हुआ, जैसे पेड़ खजूर ।
पंथी को छाया नहीं, फल लागे अति दूर ।।
Saint Kabeer said that, it does not matter how big you are and what you have, you are of no use, if you are unable to give that back to the world. Like a date palm tree. It’s so tall but the fruits are far and not everyone can reach it and even birds can’t rest on it.
And I always believe in that. Scientifically, why do red color clothes look red? Because it has absorbed all the colors of light and reflecting back red. So we see it as red.
Met a very wealthy man. He had a big house, full of expensive artifacts and we all could see his abundance. And then came a gentleman asking for money to support his new business. From his clothes, that gentleman looked very ordinary, stressed and in dire need of money. The richman, asked him to sit properly, asked for a glass of water and then offered tea. After that, after talking to him and discussing with him, gave him the money he needed. The gentleman was very grateful and fell into rich man’s feet to express his gratitude. The rich man picked him up and said only one thing, please make sure your children study well in this life. Everyone was impressed with his behavior and everyone appreciated it. Everything touched our hearts. No one talked about the artifacts which we all had no knowledge of, Everyone talked about how he treated that gentleman. Because this is what the rich man had reflected.
It is also about giving with love. Without making the other person feel inferior or obliged. When we give with love, that’s the true giving. When someone is happy to receive it and does not feel pain that he had to take that help, that’s the true giving. So ahre with gratitude. Share with love and you will see the divine in everything you do.
