God is the evolutionary impulse of the universe. God is infinite creativity, infinite love, infinite compassion, infinite caring.

Let us realize that engagement and detachment aren't opposite-the more engaged we become, the more detached we will have to be.

This is real freedom-the ability to enjoy the choices we make in every successive moment of the present.

The intention behind our giving and receiving is the most important thing. When the act of giving is joyful, when it is unconditional and from the heart, then the energy behind the giving increases many times over. But if we give grudgingly, there is no energy behind that giving. If we feel we have lost something through the act of giving, then the gift is not truly given and will not cause increase.
