The spiritual aspects of asking for favors

[Anton Rogachevski]

Hello everyone,

Please share your insights about asking for favors and doing favors. Have you had deep spiritual insights that changed the way you look at helping someone?

[Misagh]

Whatever you do, you do to yourself. That is the ultimate insight. There is no other. 

[YaNanNallari]

Well, if you mean whether we should depend on others or not, or what guidelines there should be I think it depends on yourself. Some people find it easy to not abuse others or not be abused by others with favors. Some people take on too many responsibilities to distract themselves, some have it all done for them. But sometimes it is genuinely good to ask and receive favors and also help others. It's not really a black and white thing, but the attitude you give out tends to come towards you too

Ask for what you want, even though it may feel bold or awkward. People don’t know what you want until you ask them.

The act of asking is a validation of the awareness that you deserve to have what you want. If others are unable or unwilling to accommodate your request, give it to yourself.
