True giving flows from the heart and never expects anything in return. He who gives in purity of intent, collects ample rewards for his gifts. More than he has given out, for in addition to the joy the giving produces in his own heart and in the one of the recipient, he will receive the fruits of his positive actions returning to him in due course from an unexpected source in life.
However he who gives demanding rewards for his actions of grace or is even just silently expecting them, will suffer losses all around and experience weariness in reward. For a dark shadow will be cast upon the whole transaction, remaining with the ungraceful giver henceforth. Until such an unlikely day as he will forget and forgive that he has not received the expected in return. So it is better not to give at all than to give ungracefully, because to give in expectations of rewards is sure to cause disappointment.
