Mutual bestowal is when we become interconnected with each other in mutual concern and consideration, when we seek to benefit each other instead of ourselves.
To achieve this, first, we need to rise above our egos, we need to stop being immersed in personal selfishness and we need to stop harming others. Then we need to adopt each other's desires as our own and seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
If I adopt your desires as my own and I seek to benefit you instead of myself, then I become interconnected with you because I'm immersed in your desires.
If you adopt my desires as your own and you seek to benefit me instead of yourself, then you become interconnected with me because you're immersed in my desires.
Being interconnected like this is mutual bestowal.
