Question: In a family, should both husband and wife work in bestowal? What does that mean? For example, as a woman, I cook for the whole family and take care of everyone. What else could my actions be?

Answer: Everything you do for your family is your bestowal to them.

Question: Isn’t that considered as natural behavior?

Answer: No, nowhere is it said that such behavior is considered natural. Why couldn’t the husband do it instead of the wife? It is just the way things are set up and that is why we think it should be like that; but in reality, it is not.

Two completely different people meet, who do not even know each other well, and they start building something together. Each of them should strive to contribute everything he can to this common cause in a way that is enjoyable for the other. Gradually, they learn each other’s character, tastes, and everything else.

Question: So if I work for the sake of my spouse and family, does that mean that I am working in bestowal?

Answer: Yes, for women, it is much simpler.

Question: Indeed, when I work for the family, I feel some self-annulment, and it is not even difficult for me.

You once mentioned your wife, who cooked for your teacher and there was a lot of care and bestowal in this, and he felt it. It may seem like ordinary things, but there is still special effort in it.

On the other hand, it seems that reaching something spiritual is somehow different, another action, another state. Or are they not related?

Answer: Every time you do something, you should include your intention from the start to finish of that action.
