A SIMPLE CHANGE OF MIND CAN RIGHT US

Sages speak of the immutable Tree Of Life, with its taproot above and its branches below. -- Sri Krishna (Bhagavad Gita) from Eknath Easwaran's "Words to Live By"

I read the above this morning and had a blinding flash of the obvious: That which we seek, we must give. 

If we seek praise, we must give praise. If money is our mental need, we must give money. If we seek love, we must give love. When we're feeling unloved, unneeded, unwanted, unappreciated, we must needs look for the one we don't love, don't need, don't want, don't appreciate...for to love and give succor to.

That which we feel we are lacking, we will find with the Father within...all our needs are met within (where else can we go for them?). All of our answers are there within us for us and only there will they be fulfillable. We seek until we find, then we pass it on.

 

It helps if we remember: Seek ye first the kingdom of God....oh yes, and his righteousness (isn't that always the hardest part to remember?), and all these things shall be added unto you. (And that's the part we nevernevernever forget...more's the pity.)

Thank you.
