Let the rich satisfy the poor implorer, and bend his eye upon a longer pathway, Riches come now to one, now to another, and like the wheels of cars are ever rolling, The foolish man wins food with fruitless labour: that food - I speak the truth - shall be his ruin, He feeds no trusty friend, no man to love him. All guilt is he who eats with no partaker. -Rigveda, X.117
We are human beings. We are social animals. We live in a society driven by consumerism, where taking is the norm. Every second, we take. We take from natureair, water, wood, fruits, vegetables, shade, beauty, liveliness, and many more, yet we deplete its resources.
What are we giving it back? That we all know. On the other hand, we take from human relationships- love, respect, happiness, motivation, purpose of life, and much more, we keep on expecting more and more than we give. We take from our own selves, constantly seeking fulfillment outside of ourselves with no contentment and limitations.
But what if we shift our focus to the art of giving? Giving without any expectations to nature, human, ourselves..
The act of giving is often misinterpreted, as it is more than simply offering a material gift such as a costly smart watch or a diamond necklace. And if we offer such things to someone, surely we seek something in return. The interest is vested. But art of giving is all about a mindset, a way of life, and a philosophy that nurtures generosity and responsiveness either it is towards human or nature.
When we engage in the art of giving, we begin to understand the immense joy and fulfillment that can be found in contributing to the world around us.
