When the heart acts, it touches everything in the universe. When a heart feeds another it feeds itself, for it knows no limitation of self. The heart in its true condition expands and gives love and as it gives it receives. But one who expects to be fed by the heart of another has their own heart closed, and as their heart is closed, neither can they receive substance from another. The substance is in the very sphere, and its giving and receiving are one.
