"If a seeker deeply reflects upon the authentic wisdom contained herein, it will begin to strip away their overdressed ego. And if a seeker actualizes these teachings and maxims by going out and serving the poor and marginalized without any thought of receiving gratitude or a reward for that service, they will be spiritually transformed." from the Introduction by Paul W. Jacob (Jake) Spiritual reflections from The Loving Spirit of Charity: Instead of building up comfort, security, possessions, and wealth for ourselves out of fear or egocentricity, we ought to share what we have while we have the opportunity. For God lives in our selfless giving but not in our personal hoarding of resources. The only moment that we can provide for anyone is NOW! The future is a mere projection of the temporal mind. If we feed someone NOW, they are no longer hungry. If we do not feed someone NOW, they are still hungry. God lives and gives in the eternal present.
