Something beyond the ordinary

You have to be fully involved;
you have to become one with what you are doing.
So it is with giving things away.
No matter how small the thing is in terms of value,
one must be fully involved in the giving,
so that a part of one’s ego is also given away.
Through that one reaches the paramita,
the transcendental act, of generosity,
which is something beyond the ordinary.
