Giving and Taking Missionary and Students - (4012)

There are two sides. Giving more and taking less and then there's giving less and taking more.

Obviously any missionary is the one that gives more and takes less. Students take more and give less. That’s natural and normal.

That is why the natural order of things is that students are respectful and listen. Students causing unnecessary trouble in a class is unfair that turns counterproductive. This because students are in the situation of receiving - to take, to learn, yes, and also in the situation of injustice where they are in debt. A person who is in debt is smart to not go against the one that he or she owes right - because the debt gets bigger.

Any missionary that has the idea of giving and taking in equal amounts won't last long and any missionary that has the idea of taking more than giving won't last long either.

Sometimes though a missionary can unknown to him or her take a lot more than what he or she gives. Then somehow through some means, difficulty will come to wake them up to their out of order situation so to define them. So as to ask do you really want to be a missionary or not? Meaning, to be a missionary always means to give more than what one takes. A missionary principally gives more with his or her work, class preparation and enthusiasm while presenting the class.

The only way to pay karma is to be in the 'giving more than taking' mode.
