Translation
Śiva said, "Now you may take all the wealth remaining from my sacrifice, for I give it to you." After saying this, Lord Śiva, attached to dharma, disappeared.
Personal Guidance
Śiva grants the wealth to Nābhāga and disappears — the giver does not linger to be thanked. True generosity moves on without basking in gratitude.
Reflection Questions
- Do I give and exit, or do I give and wait for recognition?
- Whom have I never properly thanked because they left no opportunity for it?
