Use all you have for the benefit of the whole. Do not try to accumulate or hoard it, but share it; for as you share, so will it grow; whereas if you try to hold on and possess something or someone, you will surely lose it. It is the law, and as you live it, you will see it working out all around you. If you have some packets of seeds and you put them away in a cupboard and forget about them, nothing will happen to them, and there they will remain. But if you take them and plant them in the ground and tend them, they will not only grow but will accumulate and produce more and more. So with all you have: never try to cling on to it but gladly share it, and watch it grow and grow in quantity and quality. When your attitude is right, you know that all your needs are being wonderfully met, and that all I have is yours.
為了整體的利益使用我所擁有的一切。不要試圖堆積和囤積它,而是分享它;因為當我分享時,它就會增長;然而如果我試圖抓取和佔有任何事或任何人,那我就一定會失去它。
這就是那法則,如果我活出它,我會目睹它在我的周圍產生作用。如果我有幾袋種籽,然後我將它們拿走放進櫥櫃裡並忘記了它們,沒有任何事會對它們發生,它們只會剩下。但如果我將它們拿出種在土地上,並照料它們,它們就不僅僅會成長,並且會積累和生產越來越多的。
對於我所擁有的一切也是這樣:永遠不要試圖抓取它,而是分享它,然後看著它在質量與數量上不斷增長。當我的態度是對的,我就知道所有我的需求都會被美妙地滿足,並且上天所擁有的一切都是我的。
