Step 159 The poor cannot give. I am not poor.

The poor cannot give, for they are destitute. They are required to receive. You are not destitute, for the gift of Knowledge is with you. Therefore, you are in a position to give, and in your giving you will realize your worth and any sense of destitution will leave you. Be confident that Knowledge will provide all material things that are truly needed by you. Though it may not provide what you wish, it will provide what you need and in the right amount. Thus, you will have what you need to contribute according to your nature and your calling in the world. But you will not be burdened with that which can only burden you. You will have exactly what you need, and the world will not burden you with its deprivation or its excesses. Thus, everything will have perfect balance. Knowledge will give to you what you need, and what you need is what you really want. You cannot yet assess your needs, for you are lost in what you want. But your needs will reveal themselves through Knowledge, and in time you will understand the nature of need and how it may be fulfilled.

穷人不能给予，因为他们一无所有。他们需要接收。你并不贫穷，因为你拥有内识的礼物。因此，你有能力给予，在给予的过程中，你将实现自己的价值，任何匮乏感都将离你而去。要相信，内识会提供你真正需要的一切物质。虽然它可能不会提供你所希望的东西，但它会提供你所需要的东西，而且是适量的。因此，你将拥有你所需要的东西，根据你的天性和你在这个世界上的使命做出贡献。但你不会被那些只会给你带来负担的东西所累。你将拥有你所需要的一切，而这个世界也不会因其匮乏或过度而给你带来负担。因此，一切都将完美平衡。内识会给你你所需要的，而你所需要的就是你真正想要的。你还无法评估自己的需求，因为你迷失在自己想要的东西中。但你的需求会通过内识显现出来，到那时，你就会理解自然的需求以及如何满足它。
