The True Mentality Of Asking Nothing In Return

If we are honest enough with ourselves, we will find that when we are interacting, communicating, or working together with others, we always have some selfish motives – for the purpose of getting some rewards and benefits, or planning something for the future, etc. This is actually a mentality of demanding, which we need to correct now. When interacting with others, we should not think of gaining or obtaining anything from them, nor should we think of making friends. Instead, we should only think about how to benefit them. It is enough if they start learning to change themselves after interacting and communicating with us. Maybe they’d go from outward pursuit to introspection, from greedy and demanding to content and giving, and even start seeking the true meaning of life. We feel happy for them, but in the meantime, we don’t have any expectations from them. Such a state of mind exists in those with genuine positive energy, and they are naturally satisfied and feel at ease, without attachments and worries. To achieve this kind of freedom and a desireless state of mind, it is more important to learn the wisdom passed down by the enlightened ones. Only this kind of wisdom can create a proper inner environment.
