2) Attitude to Have When You are Giving - 4
When you love people, no matter what the investment you have just made is, you should not think about it. You should not regret. You should not remember what you have invested! I want to give more . . .
Therefore, when you have something good to eat, if you are eating it hiding out somewhere alone, then you are a leader who is to going to die immediately.
If you have something to eat, then you should not eat it but save it, and wishing to give it to someone even if you cannot eat it yourself, and thinking about members because you cannot eat it.
This is the type of person that you should become. You have to become leaders who have nurtured this type of parental heart. (970-166)
When a mother feeds her children on her breast, do they think, "I am feeding them because I want to take back many times more from them in the future?"
They are uneasy because they cannot give any more. What lasts for eternity is the heart of parents which sheds tears after giving something to the child because they cannot give something better.
After doing so, although they want to give more but they cannot because they simple don't have any more, they will be moved to tears by this uneasy heart.
This type of parent will surely educate their children to be filial. The process of restoration is the place where this heart is. Restoration becomes impossible when one leaves this course. (46-173) |
