Hello all!

Long time since I wrote here.

I hope you can help me interpreting this answer. I asked "what can I do to spend more time with this person? As time and busyness seems to be a constraint...

Thanks for your help!

Give it Up, and Do it with Greatness

If I got this reading, I would say to myself that I must give up something...Balkin says that "decrease means understanding that you must give up some things to get other things."

According to H14, you have much and you can afford to make princely tributes...that would be part of your decrease...."your possessions, gifts and abilities do not exist solely for your benefit." You must use them for others, for higher purpose. (line 3) As for Line 4, make sure your "possession in great measure" does not seem arrogant or boastful.

It suggests that you don't try to hog more of his time, just let things be as there seems to be a sense of possessive growing within you which is wrong, it says don't get greedy because then there is a chance that you will smother the person.
Therefore, you do nothing, and restrain your desires for everyone's good.
