Inner Compassion and Secret Gifts

Proverbs 21:13-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 21 in context

Scripture Focus

13Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
14A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
Proverbs 21:13-14

Biblical Context

Ignoring the cries of the poor returns as unheard cries within. Secret giving pacifies anger and plants a hidden inner reward.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the I AM, the cry of the poor is a mirror of a lack you have accepted in your own consciousness. If you pretend not to hear, you reinforce a separation that keeps you small and unheard in your own life. The line about a gift in secret is not simply charity; it is a revision of the state you inhabit. When you act as if abundance already belongs to you, but without noise, you align with the inner law of life: giving is a movement of your awareness, not a transfer of coins. Secret giving pacifies anger because it dissolves the sense of grievance within you; it says, I am full, and thus I bless rather than blame. The 'reward in the bosom' is the felt peace that follows such implied unity. As you persist in imagining yourself as the steady, generous observer of life, your outer circumstances begin to answer from that visible, generous state. So listen to the quiet impulse to bless, and let your imagination carry it forward until reality itself hums in resonance with your inner decree.

Practice This Now

Assume the posture of the secret giver and feel the gift already received by the other. Feel the anger melt as you imagine the blessing radiating from your heart.
