Gratitude
There is a story of the old beggar who ws walking barefoot across the hot sand cursing the Lord bcoz he had no shoes, until he came across a man without legs and without feet, rolling through the hot summer sand so that he could go into the shade.
As we travel through life, we experience both good n painful karmas. Perhaps there is nothing more powerful , nthing that will make us take our focus away frm ourselves to the greatness of God during these times, than Gratitude.
Gratitude means to live life as a gift. True gratitude embrases all of our life, nt just the good , the joyful, the holy, but the painful, the sad, and the not so holy. It is the seperation of joy and sorrow that artifically keeps us attached to the continual search for worldly happiness.
Babaji says" You see, the Lord has given us so much in life, but we dont have that thankful heart. Instead of asking the Father to give us the boons in life, We should ask him to give us a heart which is full of gratitude."
This is for all my sisters and brothers , lets inculcate this teaching in our lifes.
