The thousand petal lotus

Sahasrara means thousand petal lotus. Once his chakra opens (on the crown center of the head), you will have the same experience as a thousand petal lotus flowering in your Being! Such joy and ecstasy come with it! Continuous negative attitude towards this life locks this chakra and a positive attitude opens this chakra. A man prayed to the Lord, 'Oh Lord! Please give me 5000 rupees for 15 days expenditure. After I get a job, I will repay you.' The priest heard this prayer, felt bad

for him and gave him 250 rupees, saying that God told to give it to him. The man saw the 250 rupees. He prayed, 'Oh Lord! Next time you send money, please send me directly. The priest has taken away half of it.'

We think everything we have is our birthright. But even birth is not our right! Whatever you have is a pure gift from Existence or the Divine or the Ultimate Energy. But we don't understand that. Again, we only start thinking, 'What next...tata kim...' If you make a list of things that God has given you, it will never end and if you make a list of what God has not given you also, it will go on. So much is showered on us, but we always look at what is not given.

Concentrate on the sahasrara chakra. Forget all other parts of your body. Concentrate only on the crown center and relax there. With your whole Being, give your gratitude to your mother for giving you this body. Remember and give your gratitude to her with your full Being. Give your gratitude to your father for giving you this life. Give your gratitude to all the doctors and nurses who received you when you came to planet Earth. Give your gratitude to all the people who took care of you when you were an infant. Give your gratitude to all those who worked for your food, clothes and accommodation when you were young. Give your gratitude to all the teachers who gave you primary education. Give your gratitude to all your young age friends who made your life juicy and blissful. Give your gratitude to all the people who gave you professional education, who helped you stand in your profession. Give your gratitude to all the people who helped you economically whenever you needed it. Give your gratitude to all the doctors who took care of your health who gave you medical assistance whenever you needed it. Give your gratitude to your wife or husband for giving you love and security in your life. Give your gratitude to all the people who encouraged you and gave you inspiration for your spiritual life. Give your gratitude to all the Masters and spiritual persons who inspired you to live this spiritual life. Give your gratitude to all those who helped you physically, mentally, socially, economically and spiritually. Remember each one of them and give gratitude. Last but not least give your gratitude to the Divine, to the Whole, to God, for making all these things possible in your life. Give your gratitude to the Master who is the embodiment of energy, the Divine. Before that, I offer my gratitude to all of you for coming here and sharing this Bliss with me.
