- A Mothers And Her Baby:
- A mother fusses over her baby endlessly, and when she gives to her baby, she actually enjoys, she gets pleasure from taking care of him. She's constantly searching for new ways to make sure that he has everything he needs - does he need more milk, a nap, a diaper change etc.
- In the same way, we have to get to a point where we're taking care of others as though they're our baby, and by giving to them, we'd enjoy, we'd receive fulfillment.
- A Great Person:
- Many of us look up to someone that we think is great. If we're given an opportunity to give to that person, we'd get a tremendous amount of pleasure from giving. Even though we're giving, we'd enjoy, we'd receive fulfillment, simply because we think that person is great.
- In the same way, we have to get to a point where we think others are great, and if we give to them, we'd receive pleasure from giving.
The pleasure we get from giving (from love), is unlimited, boundless and endless because when we love someone, we constantly search for new ways to benefit them.
Love is when we seek to benefit others instead of ourselves and the pleasure we get from giving is called spiritual pleasure. That's why love your friend as yourself is the basis for all spirituality.
When we seek to benefit others, we enter into adhesion with The Creator in equivalence of form with His qualities. We become one with each other and with The Creator.
In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
