The way to create what you want in life is by giving it to others.
The pursuit of all things is only for the sake of happiness.
The way to have happiness is to give what you want to have.
On the relative plane, life is like a mirror. What you give is what you get.
If you want to receive happiness, give happiness.
If you want to receive love, give love.
If you want to receive respect, give respect.
To receive we must be open – open our hearts, open ourselves.
If we just open ourselves, everything will flow to us.
When we serve others we forget ourselves, we go out of ourselves.
And the misery of life is when we are lost in ourselves, our egos.
The enlightened want to help people out of their sorrow.
They serve because there is nothing else to do.
It is totally natural because they already have everything in life.

What is Nami Ma?
I don’t know! hahah… Came across this passage several years ago and saved it. I think Nani Ma means grandma in Hindi, but this may refer to an author’s pen name.
Nani Ma is actually a spiritual advisor from India
