Wahhab…
Another name for God. It means the one who always gives the bestower of gifts, the giver. All that we have is His gift, it is not our earning. We have not earned life - it is a sheer gift, for no reason at all. We don’t deserve it. The more you look at the benediction of life, the more the feeling arises: How can we deserve it? – the beauty of it, the joy of it, the utter splendor of it, the utter splendor of it. We have not done anything to deserved upon us. That is the meaning of the word.God is overflowing. He gives because He cannot help but give, he gives because of His abundance. He gives like the sun gives light or the flower gives fragrance- it is simply His nature. Once this is understood one can start moving towards God. This becomes the small path: you also become a giver – that’s the way to come close to Him.
