He gives and gives and we do not even have the time to hold out a hand to receive. Some of us are not even aware that there is such a gift to be received or that there is a giver who is longing to give. Such are our lives and fate. He has no need to give. He is under no obligation to adapt Himself to us for He is the ultimate reality. He is under no compulsion and He can easily say, "This is Me, this is what I am. I am the Lord and I have created the universe and you and I am at liberty to do what I please, take it or leave it. I will not change." But no, out of this ocean of compassion that is God, He adapts Himself to suit us, to make all of us happy. If only we could understand, see and realize all this that He does for us. He does this in order that we will learn and that we will also follow the same principles and teach : and instead of carrying out our daily chores and duties as a duty, carry them out with love. If all practiced this, what a different time zone the world will become - a heaven on earth, a new era, a golden age would descend upon the earth. He does this for our sakes alone. Similarly, we must also adapt to each other, to our families, our friends and most importantly to our enemies; and we must learn to forgive, forget, to overlook, to not take offense just as He overlooks our faults, character traits and our shortcomings and still showers His love upon us.
