Feel as grateful to existence as possible – for small things, not only for great things…just for sheer breathing. We don’t have any claim on existence, so whatever is given is a gift.
Grow more and more in gratitude and thankfulness; let it become your very style. Be grateful to everybody. If one understands gratitude, then one is grateful for things that have been done positively. And one even feels grateful for things that could have been done but were not done. You feel grateful that somebody helped you – this is just the beginning. Then you start feeling grateful that somebody has not harmed you – he could have; it was kind of him not to.
Once you understand the feeling of gratitude and allow it to sink deeply within you, you will start feeling grateful for everything. And the more grateful you are, the less complaining, rumbling. Once complaining disappears, misery disappears. It exists without complaints. It is hooked with complaints and with the complaining mind. Misery is impossible with gratefulness. This is one of the most important secrets to learn.
