God gives partially

Context: Observed some people prioritize giving a lot to their family. This behavior may stem from the societal belief that we are primarily responsible for our own family, and that helping others is considered a generous act, and it is optional.

I always strive to do what I can to make the people around me happy and carry on with my stuff. Ultimately, it is up to them to choose whether to feel happiness in what is available or to focus on what is lacking and be unhappy as a result. I believe it is important to allow them room to grow and mature. For instance, if they require 10 things to be happy, I may only provide 8. They then have the choice to feel happiness in those 8 things or to dwell on the 2 that are missing. I hope that they will learn to be happy with those 8 things and, in that happiness, they try to pursue the remaining two if required. This process of evolution is crucial.

Before we continue, let me clarify a few terms. The mind can be seen as the ego, consciousness of “I” with some label like Vijay, defining oneself as a specific individual in simple terms with responsibilities towards family or other entities. On the other hand, God represents the true self, the sense of “I” or consciousness of “I”, with no external labels. Merging with God involves operating from this pure consciousness of “I” with no additional tags or labels.

I have come to understand why God does not grant us everything we desire but instead leaves something incomplete. This act of leaving room for growth is a divine quality. As it is God working through me, I am behaving that way. The same divine force operates within all of us, but our minds often interfere, disrupting the natural flow. For example, while God may intend to provide 8 things to your family leaving two things, your mind might intervene and try to give all 10, mistakenly believing it will bring greater happiness for your family missing the whole point, evolution. This interference of the mind, driven by ego and the desire to control outcomes, hinders the evolutionary process.

When God intends for 8 things to suffice, the ego may push for 10, causing internal conflict with natural flow and imbalance. While this may be sustained temporarily, it inevitably leads to stress and eventual breakdown, much like a dam cannot hold back a river indefinitely. The repercussions of this imbalance can manifest as illness or other setbacks. In such instances, the burden falls back on the family (often suddenly) to manage what was unexpectedly thrust upon them, causing strife and discord due to the lack of preparation or experience.

To align with the divine flow, one must shed all labels (ego) and act in accordance with inner guidance, trusting in God's plan. When God intends for 8 things to suffice, only give 8 things. Even though a common man (even family members) may not understand this and may throw some mud on you. But you know what you are doing and can proceed with trust in the divinity.

Appendix:

While God may intend to provide 8 things to your family and two things for others, your mind might intervene and try to give all 10 to your family, ignoring others, mistakenly believing it will bring greater happiness for your family. This will give more than necessary resources for your family and others starve. This creates severe imbalance not just within you but also in the society.
