This poem was written during a time of deep confusion in my life. My mind was entangled in a trading mentality, constantly weighing and calculating. Then, one day, the grace of wisdom touched me, filling my heart with immense gratitude and love—not just for the joy but for all the pain my heart could feel, and for all the hurt my mind could comprehend.
When we’re in pain, it’s easy to develop a negative perspective about life. Nothing seems worth fighting for, and in the darkest moments, it feels easier to end it all than to make sense of the chaos around us. From these experiences, we often conclude that life is unfair. And with this belief comes a flood of defilements—we become more judgmental, more envious, more angry, less forgiving, less grateful, less happy, and less content.But the truth is, life is as fair as your perspective. We want the same energy we give, but we seek it from the exact source we gave it to. We want love only from the person we love, and we expect everything to be returned as if life were a transaction.
More often than not, we are the ones making life unfair for ourselves—by clinging to our cravings and aversions. I believe the greatest form of rebellion is to follow your own heart, free of such defilements.

We forget that the universe doesn’t operate on a trading mentality. Whatever energy we give—be it love, kindness, or gratitude—we’re not giving it to a person or a being. We’re offering it to the universe. And that energy will inevitably return to us, often in the most unexpected ways.

The source is not human; the source is the universe. Spread love and kindness, and you will receive it back in ways beyond your imagination.

 Life is not a transaction. Its immenseness can only be touched by us when we free ourselves from our own defilements of cravings and aversions.


 

"It fears sometimes giving all my heart and never getting back.
To loosen up all in return for no one ever furl me back.
It fears sometimes to give all I have to someone or something,
Just to get nothing back!
Won't it be a pity to die with nothing back?
Yes, it fears,
but would it help if it all sleeps in you,
The love, the thoughts, the wonders inside you,
Would it help if you just curl up the love within you,
Or the thoughts that come to you!
Would it help if you just stay away from the world
and deter yourself!
Wouldn't it be pitier to die with everything inside, 
and never the world let know who you really were,
A soul which could love, feel, think and live!
Someone who can give and still is filled
with infinity inside that doesn't get 
Lost with time?
For I know now that the greatest sorrow doesn't come when you don't receive,
It comes when you never give."
