THE IMPORTANCE OF GIVING

Life is not a smooth ride. No matter how much one tries, there are always unpredicted situations that challenge our ability to stay in the path. And what people often ignore, is that all we give to life and others, sooner or later comes back.

So you must give from the right place for it to hit the target. What is that place? The one in which you can give unconditionally. Is that in the mind? Is that in the emotion? Neither - we only have a true experience of unconditionality when giving is rooted in the heart.

Giving from the heart, with no expectation of return, is one of the key principles that yogic wisdom immortalised in the sacred relationship of guru-chela or teacher-student. Why is Kundalini Yoga philosophy so often referring to fulfilment, prosperity and the activation of the human potential? Because it is possible, it a given of Nature, a blessings in our DNA and a human experience we can share with each other.

Krishna, the Sikh masters or the tantric teaching of Kundalini Yoga in the Aquarian Age, all of them, ancient and modern, point at the transformative energy when you start giving with no expectations. And this is not an act of “holiness”, but a way to rewrite one’s destiny and correct life’s trajectory… Giving unconditionally is your hidden super power. It is a way to tap into the infinite creativity of the Universe.

We have experienced that this form of giving is at the heart of the spiritual process and it can take place in so many ways and situations. Heaps can be said about what giving with no attachment to reward does and what Seva, ‘selfless services’, unlocks in life:

It opens the lotus of the heart
It humbles the ego and heals egotistical patterns
It burns the karmas produced by previous selfish actions
It cleans the heart to experience true freedom and deep joy
It awakens our awareness of how much impact we can produce in our life, the life of others and the life of the community

No matter what you want to achieve in life or what is the concept of success you have in mind, the fact of experience is that you will have to give a lot of your energy, your time and your work to make relationships, finances, profession or spiritual life be at the place you want them to be.

“So what does it take to live one’s dreams?” (a student once asked). Our answer is rather simple: what we know is that the offering of our attention and dedication creates a flow of good fortune in life.
And that the best way for creating this experience in real life is to really give, with heart-centered motivation and as unconditionally as it can possibly be.

And that is how you will start to pulse your secret power and make things happen.
