We're all doing something very serious. It's a serious lifetime we're engaged in here. It's very high stakes. Because when you're given something to invest, and you're fully aware of it, then there's some responsibility there. If someone squanders what they're given by a benevolent person, they're known as a miser. They don't spend it properly, or they lose it haphazardly—then they're foolish.

So, we've been given the greatest opportunity. We have a life span. We have the knowledge, and we also have the practice. So it's important to help one another, because even though we have all these assets, still we're put upon by our own senses and mind, the internal sense. What to speak of people who have no knowledge and no practice? They're blissfully foolish, and so we can do the greatest good to ourselves by taking as full advantage as possible of the process and the knowledge we've been given, and to be generous, to offer it to other people. So much happiness and generosity, especially when you have unlimited assets to give!

Just thinking how Mahāprabhu and his associates gave away the contents of the proverbial storehouse of love of Godhead. The more they gave it, the more it increased. And so the more we have generosity of heart to give to other people, the more it grows in us—that storehouse—and the more our community thrives as well.
