Giving is the embodiment of Love. So if Love is the secret to the development of consciousness and the basis of awakening the wisdom in the Self, giving is the secret of nourishing that wisdom. That is not by giving money, for it is the cheapest kind of giving. What is meant by giving is that man should give out of himself, of his compassion, his joy, his knowledge, his consciousness, etc…
For the true giving is in applying practical Love as open-mindedness on others, i.e. the openness on all that we don’t like about others and about life in general.
