The law of Divine Compensation is a universal law and it dictates that what you get is in direct relationship to what you give. Basically, it is the law of sowing and reaping – you get what you give.
The purpose of the law is to bring to our consciousness the realization of our acts of omission and commission, the duality of our being in both positive and negative polarities. Its main objective for us is to make compensation for the errors and wrongs we have committed and to benefit from the good or benefits which we have provided for the lives of others.
Napoleon Hill He lays out a formula that goes like this:
Q + Q + MA = C
The Quality of your service rendered plus the Quantity of service rendered plus the Mental Attitude in which it is rendered equals the Compensation you will receive.
He places a lot of emphasis on the mental attitude as that can greatly amplify your results. You can do the same thing as everyone else but by simply having a positive mental attitude you can have vastly different results
You can not get anything without giving. It is the most basic law of the universe. The law of action and reaction is a universal law.
The subtle distinction is that you need to shift your energy from how can you get something to how can you give to get something.
Most people have their intentions and their manifestation desires so firmly set on what they want to get that they become blinded to the truth of the law of compensation.
The lure of getting something for nothing is incredibly strong. Far too many people try to abuse the law of attraction by getting something for nothing.
They think that all they have to do is to visualize what they want, keep their thoughts positive and have the intention to manifest it. They then proceed to sit on sofa and wait for it to fall on their lap.
The law of attraction can not manifest something out of thin air.
It simply does not work like that.
The law of attraction exists alongside the law of compensation.
The law of compensation can not be cheated. You can only get what is in harmony with what you give. you should never do anything only for the sake of what you will get out of it. It will greatly limit your compensation.
As a man chooses, sows, so shall he reap and pay. The Law of Compensation - Karma. Nature in every department of manifestation demands justice, equalization, and Compensation.
In society and in our private personal affairs, man must be true unto himself, and this self must be the inner self, if man is to be true at all. He must let the Divine power within him dominate the physical power of his body and the world around him. He must let the beauty and grandeur, and the sublime thoughts of the Divine Mind of his being fill him with inspiration and comprehension of his real place in the universe and of his relationship to all other beings. He must let the God Consciousness of his soul control and direct his health and activities of the physical self so that it may truly be the servant unto himself. In this way will man rise to power and glory and attain the highest degree of success and happiness in his affairs."
Dr. H. Spenser Lewis
How to benefit from the law of Compensation
It is not about what you do but what you bring to what you do.
You give first and then you receive. You don’t wait until you receive it before you give.
You want more give more
Enjoy what you. Already have
Pay whatever you owe
Keep your mind positiveAlways give and do your best
Learn from your failures and don’t dwell on them or bad experiences
Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his essay, “Compensation,” wrote that each person is compensated in like manner for that which he or she has contributed. The Law of Compensation is another restatement of the Law of Sowing and Reaping. It says that you will always be compensated for your efforts and for your contribution, whatever it is, however much or however little.
What you put out into the world, you will receive as compensation.
“We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.”
To utilise the Law of Compensation to your advantage, think about how you can show up differently, better:
Who can you help today? How can you show kindness? Who could you send more love to? What would bring more joy to someone else’s day?
We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.
Orison Swett Marden
“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honourable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sacred Text
Sow with a view to righteousness, Reap in accordance with kindness; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the LORD Until He comes to rain righteousness on you. You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped injustice.
Hosea 10:12-13
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.
Galatians 6:7
Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. and you will find that this is the shortest way to benevolence. Confucianism.
Menicus VII .A.4
"In the scriptures of Confucius there is an example of how good and evil, as effects of acts, must be realized by us. A student asks Confucius if there is any word which by itself would serve as a practical rule of life; more emphatically, is there a single word which in its meaning alone will represent how man shall live? Confucius answers: "Reciprocity." This may be construed to mean that which we do not want done to ourselves we should not do to others. In the Confuciusian Scriptures, it is made plain that if a man has done an injury, he shall be punished in the exact nature of his injury to you. Consequently, we find that 'retribution' is the basis of the Confucian Law of Compensation.
Try your best to treat others as you would wish to be treated yourself.
As a man sows, so shall he reap
Prov. Things will happen to you good or bad, according to how you behave. (Biblical.) You should stop being so cruel to other people. As you sow, so shall you reap. Fred built an immense fortune by swindling others, but lost it all when someone swindled him. As a man sows, so shall he reap.
Story: Jacob cheats Esau and then Laban cheats him
Although it was God’s plan for Jacob to succeed Isaac Rebekah and Jacob’s use of deception and theft to obtain it put the family in serious jeopardy. Their unethical treatment of husband and brother in order to secure their future at the expense of trusting God resulted in a deep and long-lived alienation in the family enterprise.
Though Jacob had faith (unlike his brother Esau), he depended on his own abilities to secure the rights he valued. Jacob exploited hungry Esau into selling him the birthright
In escaping from Esau, Jacob ended up at the family farm of Laban, his mother’s brother. The youthful Jacob had contracted to work for Laban for seven years in return for the hand of his youngest daughter Rachel. On their wedding night, Laban switched Jacob’s betrothed for his eldest daughter Leah.
Jacob worked for Laban for twenty-one frustrating years, during which Laban broke a string of promises to him.
Despite this, Jacob succeeded in marrying two of Laban’s daughters and starting a family. Jacob wanted to return home, but Laban convinced him to stay on and work for him with the promise that he could “name [his own] wages”. Clearly Jacob had been a good worker, and Laban had been blessed through his association with Jacob.
During this time Jacob had learned the trade of breeding animals, and he used this skill to get back at Laban. Through his breeding techniques, he was able to gain a great deal of wealth at Laban’s expense. It got to the point that Laban’s sons were complaining that “Jacob has taken all that was our father's; he has gained all this wealth from what belonged to our father” Jacob noticed that Laban’s attitude toward him was not what it had been. Yet Jacob claimed the gain as a gift from God, saying, “If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been on my side, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed”
Jacob felt that he had been dealt with poorly by Laban. His response, through his schemes, was to make yet another enemy, similar to the way he had exploited Esau.
After increasing tension with his father-in-law and a business separation in which both men acted less than admirably, Jacob left Laban. Having obtained his position by Laban's dirty trick years ago, Jacob now saw an opportunity to legitimise his position by coming to an agreement with his estranged brother Esau.
But he expected the negotiations to be tense. Wracked with fear that Esau would come to the meeting with his four hundred armed men, Jacob split his family and animals into two groups to help ensure some measure of survival. He prayed for protection and sent an enormous gift of animals on ahead of him to pacify Esau before the encounter. But the night before he arrived at the meeting point, the trickster Jacob was visited by a shadowy figure out to surprise him. God himself attacked him in the form of a strongman, against whom Jacob was forced to wrestle all night. He pressed his advantage to the point of permanently injuring Jacob’s hip, yet Jacob in his weakness said that he would not give up until his attacker had blessed him.
Jacob received a new name, Israel, and even renamed the location to honour the fact that there he had seen God face to face. The once-ominous meeting with Esau followed in the morning and contradicted Jacob’s fearful expectation in the most delightful way imaginable. Esau ran to Jacob and embraced him. Esau graciously tried to refuse Jacob's gifts, though Jacob insisted he take them. A transformed Jacob said to Esau, “Truly to see your face is like seeing the face of God”

Poem
Who has not shed tears, knows not laughter
Who has not sorrowed, knows not rejoicing
Who has not fallen, rise not as a fighter
Who has not failed, knows not pride of succeeding
Who has not battled, hasn’t tasted victory
Who hasn’t met challenges, knows not the winner
Who hasn’t doubted, abode no faith-sanctuary
Who hasn’t faced fear, hasn’t become braver
Who hasn’t made mistakes, wisdom hasn’t grown
Who hasn’t visited soul’s dark-night, hasn’t known peace
Who hasn’t waited in prayer, miracle hasn’t shown
Who hasn’t tasted His goodness, offers no thanksgiving-feasts
Who hasn’t loved and lost, hasn’t understood love
Who hasn’t received love, finds difficult to love.
Happiness is in life’s journey
Not an arrival of some destiny
Not found in gathering wealth
Abandoning godliness, even health
Forsaking, the peace-of-mind path
For wasteful pleasures: tempting death.
But it’s found in living a worthwhile life for others:
Like an oak tree, giving weary birds, homey shelter.
Paul Sebastien
Meditation
Love Is the Essence of My Being Let us love not in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
I JOHN 3: 18
Since God is Love, and God is All-in-All, Love must be the underlying principle of life, and therefore in all.
AFFIRM: This Life is my life. This Love is me. It is the very essence of my being. Love heals everything, every imperfection of mind or body or environment. Love alone may overcome hatred, envy, anger & criticism.
Where Love is, there is no room for any negative emotion. Love is the Great Adjuster. I know that Love is harmony and peace and joy. In it is all good, all that is true, all that is beautiful. It is perfect balance, perfect poise. I empty my mind and heart of all but Love. I let Love express in me and through me. I let Love flow out into my world of thought and action. I am Love. The Love in me shines forth as harmony, peace, joy, freedom, and wisdom. Love binds me to the whole of creation. I find fulfillment through loving.

Benediction
Presence of Divine Love and Light that lives within us and within all of life, We invoke the powerful creative nature of all that is sacred and holy.
We embrace the healing essence that is the Kingdom of Heaven within us. We accept our greatest good as we align with our Divine Nature.
Knowing that the affairs of our lives reflect our evolving consciousness.
Each day, we receive great blessings from within and throughout all the activities of our lives.
We accept the Divine Nature of all things and all people, including ourselves, as we move away from judgment and toward greater awareness of Divine Presence.
We shall be vigilant in expressing and experiencing the Oneness with all life. As we are learning to live without faultfinding and suffering.
For we accept the consciousness of Divine Perfection with all its power and glory right here, right now and forever.
And so It is!
