The Law of Giving
posted by Deepak Chopra Apr 14, 2007 12:02 am
Adapted from The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, by Deepak Chopra. (Amber-Allen Publishing, 1994)
This law could also be called the Law of Give and Take, or the universes dynamic exchange. If you stop the flow of either, you stop the flow of both. Here’s how to apply this law:
- Wherever I go, and whoever I encounter, I will bring them a gift. The gift may be a compliment, a flower or a prayer. Today, I will give something to everyone I come into contact with, and so I will begin the process of circulating joy, wealth and affluence in my life and in the lives of others.Today I will gratefully receive all the gifts that life has to offer me. I will receive the gifts of nature: Sunlight and the sound of birds singing, or spring showers or the first snow of winter. I will also be open to receiving from others, whether it be in the form of a material gift, money, a compliment or a prayer.
I will make a commitment to keep wealth circulating in my life by giving and receiving life’s most precious gifts: The gifts of caring, affection, appreciation and love. Each time I meet someone, I will silently wish them happiness, joy and laughter.

What a wonderful statement he makes.I do often stop to make a wish for others and whenever I see the helo at the hospital fly over our home I always say a quick prayer for the health and safety of those inside.It is very expensive and not used often so you know the person on board can use all the help they can get if they are sending them out.I do the same when I pass an ambulance as I worked on one a few years back .I always said a quick prayer fro my patients too.I am not an overly religious person but I know there are times when we can use all the help we can get.

Thank you. This was beautiful. It definitely helps me appreciate the beauty of nature and my surroundings. It also makes me realize how oblivious I've been to all the wonders around me. Thanks again!

Wow.. that is deep. I have to agree that we are always subject to this law. The more I think about it, this affects everything from health, finance, and especially those relationships with loved ones! Great post.

PS. I learned some things about this from a recent trip to India.

Thank you! How often we forget to have gratitude for all things which flow into our life, and stop the flow of energy as we have difficulty in giving and receiving in Love and Light. I do believe this the universe dynamic exchange. I have experienced many time, especially during critical situation. Once again thank very much. Leo Sutrisno

Thank you and many Blessings! How often we forget to have gratitude for all things which flow into our life, and stop the flow of energy as we have difficulty in giving and receiving in Love and Light. It is in giving that we receive. And, it is right that a good and spiritual person allow things (energy) to flow into as well as out of his/ her life.
