It is true that what you do not have you cannot give. But fulfilment of self goes hand in hand with giving of self - as you give, so you have, of everything. You may experience deep rapture and bliss in your meditations, but until you impart it to others it is not established.

We are God's means of expression, and the expression itself. The taciturn, self-contained person is denied the area of influence that opens up through fluent communication. The person who gushes is denied the response of thoughtfulness. The listener invites wisdom and beauty. The doer attracts confidence and co-operation.

The Master puts it so simply - we convey God's light and it attracts others to its Source in us. We put aside self image and convey God's image: "Not my will but Thy will be done."
