The author explores the deeper meaning of the act of giving, challenging the common perceptions and motivations behind it. The key insights are:
Giving is often driven by reasons, intentions, and expectations, which the author sees as a limitation. True giving arises from a state of "emptiness" or "nothingness" within the giver, without any conscious awareness or reasoning.
The author contrasts different types of giving, such as giving for eternal blessings, giving to fulfill one's ego or religious dogmas, and giving as an overflow of one's spiritual awakening. The latter is seen as the authentic form of giving.
Giving from a state of emptiness is described as an "act of emptiness into emptiness and onto emptiness, creating completeness and fullness." It is a selfless act that emerges from one's "being" rather than one's "doing."
The author shares a personal experience of how they have learned not to give unless the intention is free from any reason or expectation. They believe that true giving can only arise from a state of inner spiritual awakening, not from a rational or egoistic mindset.
The author concludes that the world's generosity and charitable efforts have not led to lasting human happiness or positive change because the original meaning of giving has been lost. Reclaiming the spirit of giving as an expression of inner emptiness and wholeness is the key to transforming the world.
