Give Them Their Happiness and You will Get Yours

Baba said, "Everyone is fully aware of the shruti which says that
" Unless one gives, one does not receive ". Unless you have
given earlier you do not get it now" in Shri Sai Samartha Satcharita, Ch 35, Ovi 135.

Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar. Suddenly the speaker stopped and started giving each one a balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room. 

Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written, within 5 minutes. 

Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with each other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos. At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon. 

Now each other was asked to randomly select a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their own balloon. 

The speaker began: This is exactly what's happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it was. Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness and you will get your own happiness.

This is not only true for happiness, but also for love, peace, respect, care, kindness, etc., whatever you give, that will come back to you.
