Who is better, a giver or a receiver?

A giver is defined by a receiver, without whom a giver cannot give.

And, of course, a receiver cannot receive without a giver.

That means they are both interdependent, like everything else in Sansar.

A day cannot be defined as a day without a night; night and day define each other.

But on a spiritual path, it IS better to be a giver because that describes the state of your mind in a giving form vs. a conserving state, a hoarding state.

But giving has value only if the giver realizes the equal importance of the receiver in this process; otherwise, it becomes a seed for the Ego.

Someday, on a spiritual path, a giver will have to give up something big – the Ego.

At that time, this practice of giving will be a precursor for transcendence to Godliness.
