The Situation in Gnosis
If we understand Gnosis well, we will come to the conclusion
that Gnosis is not about us receiving and being pampered but about us giving
and serving. This if I am honest is more what the real situation in Gnosis is
about.
A Wise Man
A very wise man once said about Gnosis, that he came to Gnosis
to pay, as this wonderful and wise man understood that everyone comes to Gnosis
with a lot of karma, some more than others of course, but in general, we all
have heaps to pay and Gnosis is a very marvellous way to cancel all the karmic
debts that we have.
Don’t Expect to be Pampered
If we come to Gnosis expecting to be pampered, not to contribute
financially and to receive praises about everything we are getting it pretty wrong
and to put it bluntly we will suffer.
Giving = Merits – No Other Way!
Only in giving can we acquire merits and come to die psychologically
and therefore change for eh better. A person who is always receiving will one
day stop receiving and if he or she has become accustomed to it they will
suffer.
What About Learning to Give?
It is true that we have to learn how to receive but it is
always better business and spiritual business to be on the side of giving
rather than receiving. When I mean giving I mean giving of our virtues and service
or help. Not giving the ego but rather sacrificing the ego for the benefit of
others and our Being.
Conclusion
If you follow this simple rule and live by it and make it
your attitude to everything in life you will really prosper and make headway in
your work spiritual endeavours.
