Get it, gain it, realize it, receive it and give it
The imperative of spiritual sharing is a fundamental duty.
Spiritual knowledge is not for hoarding; it must be shared. This sharing is the very purpose of receiving such knowledge. It is a debt to the tradition and a service to others. Keeping it to oneself is a form of spiritual theft. The act of sharing purifies the giver and illuminates the receiver. It is a sacred transaction that multiplies the benefit. One must not wait for perfect understanding before beginning to share. The process of sharing itself deepens one's own realization. This duty transcends personal hesitation or feelings of inadequacy. The knowledge is a living stream that must flow to remain pure.
"The knowledge that you have received, you must share."
"To keep it to yourself is to commit a theft."
