Greeting
People we meet with the thought of doing them good
May 24th 2016
It is the custom in all countries to bring something for the people you are visiting – an object, some flowers, cakes, sweets, and so on. This tradition, which is very old, is based on a law: you should not visit someone empty-handed. And it is even more desirable that when you go to meet people you always do so with the wish to offer them something of the goodness of your heart and soul.
All our gestures have a meaning, therefore it is important to be careful not to greet anyone in the morning while holding an empty container, so as not to bring emptiness to them for the rest of the day. When you are going to meet a friend, never hold an empty basket, bucket or bottle. If you absolutely have to hold a container, make sure it is not empty. You can simply pour water into the bucket or bottle; water which anyway is one of the most valuable things in the eyes of the Creator. And greet this person with the thought that you are bringing them health, joy, fulfilment and every blessing.
