Episode notes
Enlightened Self Interest Still Seeks Benefit
- Enlightened self-interest can look noble but still seeks benefit.
- DeMello labels acts driven by expectation of return as 'enlightened self interest,' distinguishing them from true charity.
Unselfconscious Goodness Is Most Authentic
- You are at your best when you don't know you're being good.
- DeMello emphasizes unselfconscious virtue, claiming awareness of one's goodness undermines its authenticity.
Giving Without Expectation Is Real Charity
- True charity is not a transaction where the giver expects a return.
- Anthony DeMello says common 'charity' is self-interest disguised as altruism, so real giving happens without awareness of doing good.
