Gratitude Makes You A Nobody

Somebody once asked me, 'why should you be there and we should be here?' I told him very beautifully; actually understanding these few ideas will really give you the deep insights about gratitude. Where we miss and what we miss.

I told him 'because I am nobody, I am here. Because you are somebody, you are there'. Understand, if you are somebody, even if you are made to sit here, you will think, 'I think for my qualification, it should be little better'. Wherever you go, whatever way you are respected, you will feel that something more has to be done, should have been done. If you are nobody, whether you are respected or not, you will never be bothered, you will be in such easiness, comfort, there will no disturbances.

A person who has become a 'nobody' wherever he is he will be comfortable. A person who has become 'somebody', wherever he is, he will have some complications, some misunderstandings. Gratitude will make you a nobody; just you will be a flowing energy.

I have seen that flowing energy in the poems of Sufi mystics. Sufism is completely the tradition based on gratitude. And the way in which they flow, it was such a wonderful flow, it was such a gratitudebased tradition. It does not take any training at all to have the divine experience through Sufism. With all other traditions to have Divine experience the mindless, the experience beyond mind, it takes quite a lot of time.

So understand this one great quality; it can really transport you to different plane.
