A 10th to the Power: Fulfilling the Das

I recently had a conversation with someone who told me his prosperity wasn’t happening fast enough. I asked about his time table, and heard about his bills, health expenses, car payments, and rent. I turned the topic to Dasvandh, and he said, “Well I give Dasvandh, but I can only do $27 month; I’m doing this prosperity meditation and hope things will improve, so I can give more.” He further stated that he donated supplies, services, and his time to the Dharma.
This is a constant thing I hear in relation to giving to Dasvandh, and it makes me ponder the thought I heard many years ago in relation to prosperity: That God dispassionately responds to our emptying, by refilling. By trusting that God will come through, we experience the expansion of our capacity to receive.
If we give less than a tenth, God may proportionately return less than a tenth. This is an energy exchange, not a punishment.
Deeds of consciousness and service create spiritual expansion for the individual; we give and grow in gratitude. These acts electromagnetically bring about a different result, however, and serve a different purpose than tithing our tenth.
So set an experiment in motion and try it for 90 days-- take the leap of faith and increase your Dasvandh to the full Das. We give our 10th as we remember the 10th Master, who gave his All.
