So it was an interesting conversation with my 6 years old yesterday. My domestic help was having breakfast. Generally, she has breakfast at our place. She leaves her home at 7 and reaches back around 2. So one day, when I found out her schedule, I asked if she eats in between and she said no. So I requested her to take five minutes out and eat. My daughter saw that and asked, why do you give breakfast to her too and I replied because it’s breakfast time and everyone is eating. She is also present here at the moment, so she is also having breakfast. Why are you giving? I said we are not giving anything to anyone. When we give, it’s God who gives. We have always trained our children, that God is in everyone and in everything. Then she asked, so when she is receiving, is it God, who is receiving. Absolutely!
And who has given us everything? It’s God, who has blessed us with everything. So if he has taken one Parantha out of that and decided to share with his other form, who are we in between. So it’s God who gave through us and when we receive, it’s God who has received through us. Yes, no ego when we give and no ego when we receive. That’s why we must give with gratitude and receive with gratitude. We have never given anything and we have never received anything. It’s he who is playing a happy game. We are just a channel. When everything belongs to him and is given by him, who are we to count.
She loved that and went away dancing, I have God inside me, Mamma gave food to that God…
