To make the children
realize the fact that
everything is a gift and
that we have to show
gratitude towards our
body.

Receive every small thing in life as a
gift, for example: When you take
your plate to eat, see the plate as a
gift. We never see things as gifts.
Everything is taken for granted. We
only look at those who have a
diamond ring on their finger. We
never look at those who don't have
fingers that is the problem, which is
why we don't feel anything in our life
is a gift.

When we start feeling grateful for small things, our whole sensitivity will increase. We will become more refined. Our whole attitude towards life will move to a different plane. Remember the person who is not thankful for small things will never be thankful for big things either. Even big things, will be taken for granted.

Currently, we feel we have a right to everything that we receive because of this attitude, we miss seeing the benevolence of existence.

We remain insensitive to the gifts showered upon us by existence. If we sensitized ourselves with gratitude, we would never take anything for granted. When sensitivity happens, every moment passes in deep awe of the happenings in existence. When we take things for granted our mind will have a dead pat tern that is constantly repeating “what next'. When we are able to look at things with wonder filled attitudes, we will be full of gratitude and fulfillment.
