Expectations - expect nothing when you do something good for others

12/05/2022

Those who do something good for others, who help and support them, think it is only normal to expect gratitude or at the very least some acknowledgment. Yes, of course, that is normal, but it is better to expect nothing. For a person who expects approval or gratitude enters the world of discontent, reproof, grudges and torment. You will ask, ‘Does this mean that the good we do will never be recognized?’ No, it will be recognized, but you must not wait for recognition. Initiates and sages base their lives on one law: the law of cause and effect. They know that sooner or later the consequences of everything they have ever done will come back to them. If they have done a good deed, the consequences will be beneficial; if they have done evil… This is the law on which sages base their lives, and you should do the same.
