Just as one's ability to give material wealth depends on his economic status, so does one's inner wealth increase his ability to give to others. The more aware his is of his inner self, the better equipped hi is to really help others. But if he is only busy with giving, without any real sense of self, he has nothing real to give. He might give money, food baskets and advice, but he is not really giving of himself, because he does not know himself. His "I" is hidden from him, and there is no way for his giving to come from his real self. One cannot give what he is not aware of.As I struggle with prioritizing my needs and my growth, with the needs of others it is hard to know where to turn first. I find this advice priceless, it means that we are not doing the wrong thing to take care of our inner needs.
