MORE ON HELPING OTHERS - Keys to the Ultimate Freedom

星空

One who is not in some way helping others is injuring them. This some way is basically and generally in thought. Any thought other than one of good will or good wishes toward anyone, is injuring others and therefore injuring oneself.

The above is effected through the interconnection of all minds and by the fact that the law of compensation, i.e., karma, is affected in the thought, whether the thought is carried through into action or not.

* *

Your helping others is more by your attitude of how much you love them, than by your behavior.

* *

When you love you are very constructive whether you are in action or not. Just feel love and your thoughts will be those of love.

Thought is far more powerful than action. Thought is the basis of action. It is the initiator. It comes before it. It determines action.

* *

The degree of the lack of recognition of the woes of others is the degree of one's ego. The more one knows his Self, the more compassion and desire one has to help others.

* *

The more you are capable of loving, the more you are helping the world.

* *

All minds are interconnected, interact and interreact. The more an individual increases his love, the more everyone is helped.

* *

Your thought force either helps or hurts the world's spiritual progress and is consequently hurting or helping yourself.

* *

He who is not helping the world's upliftment is helping its degradation.

* *

The greatest good is done by the person who best understands himself.

* *

Everyone can be helped in every situation that involves more than one person, and no one has to be hurt when love determines.

* *

When you let someone know you are doing something for them, they are obligated and return a thank you. When they dont know and dont return, then the Infinite returns, overflowing!

* *

When I give and you give back, you stop me from receiving a blessing from the Infinite.

* *

It's helpful to you to help others, provided there's no ego motivation behind it and that it's done without attachment.

* *

A high being sitting in a cave somewhere all by himself is doing much good for the world by his sending out powerful thoughts of love and peace.

* *

To the degree that we know the other one is perfect. to that degree we are effective in helping the other one.

* *

Charity is aiding and abetting the lie that God will take care of the sparrow but not man.

Charity is saying. You can't help yourselves.

* *

Charity is good and necessary for one who is at that level of givingness and havingness.

* *

The greatest thing we can do for others is to help them to help themselves.

* *

Blessed is the giver because he is the happier, if he gives from his heart.

* *

To the degree you straighten out yourself you may help others. Again I say, you're not going to help others any more than you help yourself. But try to help others because that will help you to help yourself.

* *

You don't need any special training to help others. You do it naturally, from your own state of beingness.

* *

Everyone is a teacher teaching at his level. He does it unconsciously in his daily relationship with others

* *

The greatest givingness is not in things. The greatest givingness is your attitude of love.

* *

Giving out money is like giving out snake protection (the snake and the rope concept). The greatest giving is giving the understanding that there is no snake to protect yourself from.

* *

Have an attitude of givingness. It's not how much you give; it's your attitude. Some people give to hospitals etc. to get their nameplates on them, and that is the extent of their reward.

* *

Whatever we do we should do with a desire to serve.

* *

Serve with the feeling that it is not you but the God in you who serves.

* *

The giver should say Thank you and the receiver should say You are welcome. (The giver is the more blest.)

* *

The less ego we have the more we know the perfection of others. And it's to the degree that you know they're perfect that you support them in their being perfect.

* *

A completely giving person always has whatever he wants.

* *

We help mostly by raising our own state of being.

* *

The higher you go the more you lift everyone.

* *

When you're holding good thoughts, you're sending out good thoughts to everyone.

* *

When you're helping others, where's your attention?

* *

Selflessness is an excellent yardstick to measure the state of beingness of an individual.

* *

Givingness is also a good yardstick. One's state of beingness is proportional to one's feeling of givingness, one's wanting to give.

* *

Does a Master ask things from the devotees, the disciples? A Master is all-givingness.

* *

Our feeling of givingness should be equal toward everyone. Giving to someone who likes you is ego motivated. A Master has equal-mindedness toward all.

* *

Anyone who has spiritual pride is only giving out words, and the other one picks it up as words with no import or authority.

* *

To help another one you have to equate him to you, i.e., not think you are spiritually higher.

* *

When one understands, one sees everyone equally a Master.

* *

If everyone lived only for others, that would right the world. It would make it a utopia!

* *

When we live only for others, then we're at the top.

* *

Any and every relationship should be for the purpose of helping the other one attain realization, or for your being helped in attaining Realization.

* *

Service to mankind will get you full realization if you do it with no interest in the fruits thereof.
