GENEROSTIY IS QUALITY OF SPIRIT / 3 TYPES OF LOVE

GENEROSITY IS THE QUALITY OF THE SPIRIT


GENEROSITY IS THE QUALITY OF THE SPIRIT

When You Feel Stuck In Life And Not Growing, Bombarded By Desires,
When There Is Dryness, Lack Of enthusiasm, no juice, what do you do?
Here is the solution.... FEEL GENEROUS.... right away, not tomorrow.
Either a princess or a pauper can feel generous. Generosity is the
quality of the spirit. When you feel generous your life becomes
abundant, full of compassion and love.

Question: Is generosity the same as being grateful?

Answer: No. Gratefulness always has self concern. You are grateful
because you have something or you get something. Generosity is an
expression independent of external circumstances. No one can make you
feel generous. That is something that you have to do yourself.
Essentially, generosity is not an act. It is a state of
consciousness, but it cannot but find its expression in an act.

Question: What about passion?

Answer: Passion indicates scarcity. Dispassion is abundance.
Dispassion without generosity makes you self-centered, causes more
dryness.

You dont´ have to think about what you have done in the past. That
only brings doership.

Just feel generous.

THREE KINDS OF LOVE


THREE KINDS OF LOVE

There are three kinds of Love. The Love that comes out of Charm, that
which comes out of comfort, and the Divine Love. Do you see what I am
saying?

The love that comes out of charm does not last long. It comes out of
unfamiliarity or out of attraction. In this you lose the attraction
fast, and boredom sets in, like most love marriages. This love may
diminish and bring along with it fear, uncertainty, insecurity, and
sadness.

The Love that comes out of comfort and familiarity grows. But this
Love has no thrill, no enthusiasm, joy, or fire to it. For example,
you are more comfortable with an old friend who is a familiar person,
rather than with a new person.

The Divine Love supersedes both the above. The Divine Love has ever
newness. The closer you go; there is more charm and depth. The Divine
Love has comfort, enthusiasm, and familiarity. There is never boredom
and it keeps everyone on their toes.

Worldly love can be like an ocean, yet an ocean has a bottom. The
Divine Love is like the sky which is limitless, infinite. From the
bottom of the Ocean, soar into the vast sky.

Jai Gurudev...!
