During a meeting in Bulgaria, the Master Peter Deunov asked the following question: ‘In your view, what is the difference between the old teaching and the new?’ As nobody gave the right answer, the Master said: ‘The old teaching shows us how to take, and the new one teaches us how to give.’ There it is, so simple and clear… although it takes a great deal of explanation, of course, for people to understand what giving and taking mean in all areas of life. Faults such as selfishness, anger, rage, jealousy, rudeness and lack of conscience are contained in the word ‘take’, and qualities such as goodness, generosity, indulgence and self-denial are contained in the word ‘give’. Everything we do can serve as an opportunity to give, to show ourselves more understanding and selfless in our relations with others, as we strive to love rather than to be loved.
