Giving is the hardest thing. Everyone tries to escape giving away his money and belongings.

Human ego is often at war with God. Everyone wants to satisfy his ‘ego’ and train God. This disobedience to God is the primordial or original sin.

If you keep God’s gift to yourself, you will become greedy. Greed is the surest road to destruction.

Krishna says in the scripture Bhagavad Gita that the Earth plane was founded on a reciprocal relationship between God and the humans. The humans perform offerings for the Gods and the Divine, in turn, multiplies them a thousand fold.

The human logical mind asks, “Why would God expect gifts from man? Anyway, doesn’t everything belong to God?”

It is true that God doesn’t require anything from the humans. Giving is a mechanism to reform and civilize human ego and greed.

Giving makes you experience your subjugation to God. It is a way of killing your ego and accepting God’s supremacy. It is a device to strengthen man’s relationship with God.

Most importantly, it is expressing your gratitude for life.
