I recently had a small kitten in my arms and I was so happy to hold and give warmth, affection, kindness, and so on. The more this kitten purred and enjoyed being in my arms, the more I enjoyed it’s company. It felt very nice to be gentle with small creature and I thought that perhaps this was the way we should be with others, however I think I see the difference between bestowel for the sake of reception (mine not the kitten’s) and a reception for the sake of bestowel, as in reception from the G-d for the bestowel to others. These sudleties are deep.
Receiving from the Creator and passing what I receive on to others with no thought of benefit/reward for myself in return. This is actually impossible for me to achieve on my own, since I’m made of desire to receive in all I do, and I can’t change my desires or thoughts on my own. Hence the necessity for the right environment to help me begin to transform my receiving from an egoistic intention to an altruistic intention.
