주는 (주다)

Why will a person who is used to giving succeed in life? And why, when you give, is it not taken away from you, but added? This is because giving connects you to the original source, the Heavenly principle. The Heavenly Parent created by giving, and all that was given continued to increase and grow.
A happy person is one who gives when he wants to give and receives when he wants to receive. The unfortunate person cannot give even when he wants to, and he cannot receive anything when he is ready to receive.
By giving, you accumulate merit. When you give, add material things to a part of your soul. No one can take away what you have given with God’s love.
Who invests first – parents in children or children in parents? Parents give first. You have to give with a parental heart. No need to give anything based on personal ambitions or wishes. If a parent wants to give even more, but cannot because he has nothing left, tears will come to his eyes from worry.
When you give something to people, do it not in a friendly way and not in the way a master does when he gives something to his servant. You have to give as a parent does. This means that when you give, you should feel sad that you cannot give more.
Anyone who wants to give away a unit, and in return receive a hundred, is waiting for a complete collapse. Such people cannot live in a world where love reigns. The heavenly world is a world where everything is given.
The power of true love is in giving. Give and forget. Don’t count what you give, just forget about it. When you give and forget, you elevate the one you love and put him above yourself. Give and forget, that’s the point. If you remember all that you have given, you break the cycle of giving.
