- Reader of the sutras: Sw Anand Vimal.
- The sutra
- You often say, "I would give, but only to the deserving."
- The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture.
- They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.
- Surely he who is worthy to receive his days and his nights is worthy of all else from you.
- And he who has deserved to drink from the ocean of life deserves to fill his cup from your little stream.
- And what desert greater shall there be, than that which lies in the courage and the confidence, nay the charity, of receiving?
- And who are you that men should rend their bosom and unveil their pride, that you may see their worth naked and their pride unabashed?
- See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of giving.
- For in truth it is life that gives unto life -- while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.
- And you receivers -- and you are all receivers -- assume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives.
- Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings;
- For to be overmindful of your debt is to doubt his generosity who has the free-hearted earth for mother, and God for father.
