Rav Ashlag, founder of The Kabbalah Centre, taught us egoless sharing is almost impossible. If a person wants to change and transform, he will never do it unless he gets something out of it. The engine of sharing and caring has to come from his ego.
The paradox is when we acknowledge our initial selfish motives, the rewards of our giving are longer lasting. But when we think we are doing it out of the goodness of our hearts, there will be a short-circuit at some point in the process.
Today, be ruthlessly honest with yourself. Seek out the seed of agenda in your giving. Rejoice in your opportunity to transform that seed of selfishness into a seed of selflessness.
