Understanding behind giving

Understanding behind GIVING

I come across many people who want to help "Others", do good things to "others", want to donate or GIVE to others (tell you later why this term "Others" is so important. They have genuine intention to help, do good for others, in fact many go ahead execute their thoughts. however they start saying that the person they helped did not reciprocate or did not oblige. Somewhere in the corner of their mind, they have an expectation that their work will be recognised, appreciated or reciprocated in some way. If this doesn't happen then, they get hurt and then things that were done with good intentions also makes them sad and with lot of grief.
This happened because there was no understanding behind GIVING.

This feeling of grief and sadness has arise to the giver because he thought he is giving to "Other". Actually there is no "other". The consciousness within the giver and the taker is same.
if you give with right understanding it will give immense happiness and never ever you will get hurt. You will fell free from whatever is the outcome.

Kabir in one of his doha has said
"Whatever I am giving belongs to HIM (almighty GOD)"
"To whom I am giving, he/she belongs HIM"
"One Who is giving, also belongs to HIM"
