If you take, you must also give. And even if you do not take, you should still give. Why? Because in doing so you initiate movement, and you will receive something in return. Start, at least, by learning to give when you have taken; this will be a step in the right direction. Review your relationships with the people around you; look honestly at how you behave with your parents, your children, your friends, your society, as well as your attitude towards nature and, finally, with God. You will see that you have taken many things from beings both visible and invisible without the slightest thought of giving anything in return. This means that you have accumulated debts. Well, know that you reincarnate in order to pay off all such debts. Everyone without exception has a karma to deal with. Whether it be an individual or collective karma matters little. There are personal karmas as well as social, national, and racial karmas, but it is not really necessary to concern yourself with those. What is important is simply to pay your debts, because justice demands it. And when you hear the word ‘justice', a shiver should run through your entire being, for this word contains all the secrets of cosmic balance.
