Grounded euphoria increases generosity.
Grouded generosity increases euphoria.
A Facebook friend posted the first line, and one of her other FBFs posted the second.
Both are true, I added in my own comment. Both are necessary. Both happen. I think they are simultaneous, like reflections in a mirror.
There is an insight in here about the joyful side of dependent origination.
If you aren't familiar with dependent origination, it is one of the Buddha's fundamental teachings -- that everything we see, touch, and experience is not a separate "thing," but a momentary confluence of factors that are themselves momentary confluences of other factors, which are themselves momentary etc., on and on into infinity, an ocean of motions, meetings and partings.
Grounding with this (stillness, silence, breath) becomes a quiet euphoria, a joy. Generosity then allows the multitude of events and happenings to simply happen,and pass away.
And after a while there is no separation between the euphoria, the generosity, and the grounding.
Namaste
