Donation is expression of gratitude. This statement may sound trite, unoriginal, mundane. But it is not so.
Gratitude is the heartfelt realization that a certain something in our lives is leading us towards light. Whether an experience (big or small), a person, a teaching, a routine, or a stance, certain things in our lives are leading us towards depth.
Gratitude is important because it solidifies the presence (in our hearts and in our lives) of that thing that is so good for us. Be generous and regular with your gratitude. Be conscious of what is good for you and connect with it; keep it by your side (in your mind and heart).
There are many ways to express gratitude, and donation is one of those ways. A donation is towards yourself, towards your higher Self, towards your wise and inclusive Self. Whether you donate your energy (in whatever form - objects, work, time, etc.) towards a cause or towards the poor, you donate towards light, towards life.
Do not feel stingy inside when you donate. You are wasting your donation that way. A good and wise action is one where action, intellect and emotion are aligned. If your hands are giving but your emotion is holding back, that is (at least) wasted energy.
So, do not be sloppy, take your time, relax, be easy, and then you can donate from the heart (that is, with sweetness in your emotion).
If you want to donate towards our school, we thank you!
