What Is Gratitude?

When we recognize that we are part of the total scheme of Existence, and that we are lovingly taken care of by Existence every minute, we are overcome with gratitude. We become thankful for what we receive every moment, even if it as basis as the use of our limbs and senses.

Gratitude is your response to recognizing the abundance of existence. If there is an energy that takes care of everything in your life, it is the energy of gratitude! If you feel that there is something missing in your life, it is because you feel less gratitude. Gratitude connects you directly to the Divine energy.

Gratitude should become the very breath of a person. It transforms the happenings in you and around you. It is an energy that harmonizes you with the energy of the universe and brings tremendous prosperity to you. With gratitude you will see that Existence simply responds to you. It is the channel to commune with Existence.

Understand this: when you feel gratitude towards everything, it means you feel fulfilled, you feel blissful. So when you radiate gratitude, your energy of fulfillment attracts fulfillment back to you in the form of material gains, good relationships, good health and so on. The main thing is that gratitude makes you resonate with Existence and transforms you into a beautiful human being.

Society has taught us that gratitude is a social etiquette that we must all practice - to be thankful for what is received. When we want something, we pray and ask God or existence for what we want and when we receive it we express our gratitude.

What would happen if we shifted ourselves from the attitude of always

asking for what we want next, to the attitude of feeling and expressing or gratitude to Existence itself?

"Gratitude is our real nature…Gratitude is the energy that makes your life intense and exciting every moment. When you carry causeless gratitude in you, life will be sweet all the time irrespective of external circumstance." ~ THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM

THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM says, "You always think that whatever was given to you was either because you deserved it or because it was an accident.

When you start seeing and feeling that invisible hand of Existence taking care of you, you will understand that you are wanted here by Existence. Only then you will understand that you are being showered upon continuously by Existence."

Get ready to receive the gifts from Existence and experience the bliss!
