“I am very grateful for your help.

Regardless of the outcome,

thank you very much.”

When someone asks for our help, we may hesitate.

What if something goes wrong?

What if the outcome is not what she is hoping for?

Will we somehow get blamed?

If we’re spending time and energy on such concerns, we’ll have less for the project itself. But what if we know she deeply understands karma? Understands that the project’s fulfillment or failure depends on her conditions. What a relief! With our own understanding of causes and conditions, we won’t hesitate to help out. Not being plagued by worries over the outcome, we can focus all our energy and brain power on the task.

If the outcome is not as hoped, it’s not our fault.

If it does work out, it’s not to our credit.

With such thinking, we eliminate our ego and self-centeredness from the equation. Who wouldn’t want to help someone so at ease with conditions?

Who wouldn’t want to help us if we were too?
