Accepting gifts means accepting love - rejecting gifts means rejecting love
Different people have different ways to offer love - to his wife a husband has a different way to offer love than to his daughters. To a customer a business man has a different way of showing love than to his employees ....
Whatever gifts a person offers, that is his present manifestation and potential to offer love. To make gifts is a most important step on the way to learn to love, hence it is important to be able to make gifts. By rejecting gifts you obstruct a person's learning process to love.
Gifts are made as gifts from the bottom of the heart of the giver. A give normally always should include 2 parts:
- a part directly for the recipient
- an additional part that may be given to any other party
Example you give fruits to a poor person. That person loves his own family, friends or relatives, hence he would feel bad if receiving only one small fruit barely enough to satisfy his own needs - he would love to share his gifts with his loved ones, hence when we give we give in abundance, always enough for the recipients to have to share with HIS loved ones to truly enjoy.
In your recent case, the fruits may have been for you and the other part of the gift for you to forward to someone YOU know who is in need of that or wold enjoy JUST that other part of the gift! YOU are the connection between that giver and the final recipient in many cases.
When we use other people's services, and give tipping, we give enough for that other person to have abundance to give tipping to others as well rather than just barely enough to pay for simple life.
All is really available in abundance, but we all have to learn to accept abundance and to forward abundance - hence we have to be fully open in both directions - giving and accepting ...
love in all its human manifestations, including money, fruits, clothing, expertise, information, help, care, medical care, spiritual care or gifts of any other nature
love and bliss
