How are Sharing and Healing related?
We all are taught to share since our childhood, whether it is food with our family, toys with our friends, happiness with our dear ones, sorrows with our near ones, clothes with our siblings, etc., We are always taught to share all the dear things which are close to our heart. The idea behind sharing is to share our dearest things and have a feeling of being one with others and thank the universe for all that has been given to us. We were always shown new ways for sharing while we are children. We were even taught to share beyond our families and friends.
All that we learn to share till we grow up pertains to sharing of all the things except money. This works perfectly till the time we have not started to earn. But after we start earning, we are never taught to share our income which actually becomes our ‘Prime love’ in life; which becomes the most valuable thing for us. We are not taught to share our income in the first place and secondly we also don’t feel like learning this skill as it is inconvenient to us; so we actually don’t pay much attention to this wonderful principle. We are ready to share all other things but not our hard earned Money or Income. But it’s necessary to know the logic behind this vital principal of ‘SHARING’.
General belief system is, money is earned by us and hard work has been put in and every one should earn on their own then why shall I share what is earned by me. One should look at it differently – In fact, the ability to earn is provided to us, to earn our living for our survival and other needs. Without these abilities, capabilities and harmony of our vital senses in our body we can’t actually be productive to earn. The best way to thank the universal energy for providing those traits, capabilities, physical harmony to us along with performances by us, is to share our earned income with Universe; that means sharing our income with others living in this universe. For us to function in harmony in order to earn, we require our ten senses to work in harmony. If there is a little bit of in-harmony in our bodies and senses, we cannot produce anything out of our own selves. Hence a minimum of one tenth out of our income should be shared by us with Universe.
Sharing of our income replicates our gratitude to the Divine for all that has been offered to us. It may be ideally given to the source to which a person believes in and trusts. It may be a God’s Place or an institution which can help it being distributed to others in Universe in varied ways. This act of sharing is best done if the person is not connected to intention of how it will be spent by the person or institution where it is given. We generally apply our logical thinking and even while sharing, we think about right use of the money given by us. We should leave that to the universe and almighty to do and shall not spend our energy on deciding that. This will help the person to share without expecting anything in return; the idea is to show gratitude and not to intrude in the process of knowing how universe uses its sources to distribute. Universe has better and accurate ways to fulfill the needs of all of us. Universe is believed to work invisibly but it fulfills the varied and customized needs of every person.
Sharing enables helping hand to all those who need support and who are less fortunate in terms of financial needs. Intention of sharing income as a return for whatever we received from the universe is a pure intention. How it will be used by Universe to help others and what help is required and where the help is required; is purely the choice of Universe and hence our duty ends after sharing.
In all religions sharing is a very important way to be connected to the Universal Energy or Divine. In Islam they have ‘Jakaat’, in Christianity they have ‘Charity’, in Sikhs they have ‘Dasbandh’ and likewise in every religion they have taught to share the part of income as a way to repay back for everything that they have received from this universe including the air, water, fire, land, trees, etc. By sharing we actually show our gratitude for all the natural treasures that we are allowed to use; in addition to enhancing natural healing abilities of the body.
In this process of sharing what actually happens is that while we take care of the needs of others and make good the deficiencies of others, the universe supports and makes good our deficiencies and needs, whether it is financial, body, mind and spirit (including the healing needs of the mind and body being of prime importance). An ideal way is to have a feeling of returning to the Divine rather than an intention that we have provided help or support to others; as that will help you to offer with gratitude and not out of ego needs. Deriving the name and fame out of such offerings has to do more with Ego.
While we are in the mode of being open arms to receive from this universe we must be open arms in sharing also to make this flow of support and healing smooth and effortless. It is ideal to share the income before its consumption, as and when it is received, to change the status of the remaining income also to ‘God Gift’ (Prasadam). This will ensure to purify the needs of spending of the balance income and help it to be used in a better way. For a clear understanding, it is worth to consider sharing of their income, by those people, who feel that their money is wastefully spent sometimes or is spent more for medical reasons. It is a good idea to start sharing and find the difference in wasteful expenses and medical needs, in a span of three months itself.
With an intention of making this Universe and the divine your partner of health vitality, let’s make sharing a blissful mode of gratitude for everything which is provided to us even without asking for. Let’s make our healing effortless by making the Divine Energy our partner of health and peace.
Lets balance this universe by sharing so that the universe showers all what we need in our lives as ever and keep reminding our own selves always –
‘Whatever we are grateful for grows more!’
Happy Health to all of you!!
