Generosity Helps Us Accept Change

True or genuine generosity is unconditional with no expectation in return. It is pure and not contaminated by my agenda such as what am I going to get by my generous act. In this sense it is free from any bondage. When I do such generous act my heart gets filled with joy, happiness..
When I do a generous act to get something in return or impose any condition or I manipulate the other, it is not genuine and free.
Yesterday, my friends came to my house discuss Breakfast with Buddha in our Book Club. Two of my friends waited to chat with me after the meeting. Both of them looked at my library and their faces indicate their desire to have a couple of books from a book sture. I felt their their desire and I joyfully offered the books they liked in my library. Our faces shone with light of joy. It is by giving we receive. Such offering from our heart cultivates our attitude and ability to go with the flow and accept what happens.
Namaste!
