Learn to give freely of all that you have. Learn also to receive graciously all that is given to you, and use it wisely for the expansion and betterment of the whole. When you give, give freely and do not count the cost. That which is given in the right spirit, whole-heartedly and in purest love, will bring great joy and blessings to the many and will multiply and grow. Always remember, let there be no strings attached to what you give. Give and then forget about it. When you do a job, do it with love, and be grateful that you have the gift and ability to do it. Do it perfectly, and never do it for what you can get out of it. When you can learn to do everything to My honour and glory, then you will have learnt the art of true giving. You will find the greatest joy in everything you give, and your whole attitude and outlook will be right.
學習自由地給予我所擁有的一切。也學習去優雅地接納那被賦予於我的一切,並為了整體的擴展與改善去智慧地使用它。
當我給予時,自由地給予,不要計較得失。那在對的精神中被給予出去的,被全心全意,在最純粹的愛中(被給出的),會給很多人帶來愉快和祝福,並且會成倍地增長。
總是記住,對我所給出的不要有任何附加的條件。給予,然後就忘了它。當我完成一項工作時,帶著愛去完成,並為我有這樣的天分與能力去完成感到感恩。
完美地完成它,並永遠不要為了我能從中得到什麼去做。當我能夠學習為上天的榮耀與榮譽去做每一件事情時,我就學會了真正的給予這門藝術。
我會在我所給予的每一件事物中找到最大的愉悅,我的整個態度與眼界都會是正確的。
