Content: WHAT IS GRATITUDE?
Content: The key to true happiness in today's world, any action needs a reason. When there is utility there is action, or else justifying the action becomes difficult. Real gratitude can never have a reason. It happens as a causeless flowering within you.
Content: Does the flower bloom for a reason?
Content: No! It blooms because it is its very nature.
Content: © 2020 Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam. All Rights Reserved
Page 7
Content: Gratitude is our real nature. Layers of conditioning from society have covered it.
Content: Society doesn’t know the language of gratitude. It knows only the language of utility. It straightaway instills greed and fear in us, so that we will give it the needed results.
Content: © 2020 Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam. All Rights Reserved
Page 8
Content: Society doesn't know there is a path of gratitude that will give much better results than the paths of fear and greed. That is the problem.
Content: There are endless reasons to feel gratitude.
Content: This life itself is a gift that we have received. To be born with human consciousness is the first blessing we have received. Our gratitude should start right from there. Just for being we should feel grateful.

Content: Understand, if ever you feel life is dull, that it is not as juicy as it should be, it is because gratitude has not happened in you. Gratitude is the energy that makes your life intense and exciting every moment. When you carry causeless gratitude in you, life will be sweet all the time irrespective of external circumstances

Content: When you miss gratitude, very often you will be gripped with the feeling that life is sour, but you won't know the real reason for that feeling. Receive every small thing in life as a gift. When you take your plate to eat, see the plate as a gift. When you serve food on the plate, see the food as a gift. When you sit down on the chair to eat, see the chair as a gift. When you wash your hands after eating, see your fingers as a gift.

Content: Every morning as soon as you wake up, before getting out of bed, just try to feel deep gratitude for just being, for just living as a human being in this wonderful Existence. Similarly, every night before you go to sleep, bring in deep gratitude for just being. Feel it in your whole body and mind. Put all judgements aside and feel gratitude. When we start feeling grateful for small things, our whole sensitivity will increase. When sensitivity happens, every moment will pass in deep awe of the happenings in Existence.

Content: WHAT DiDN'T KNOW ABOUT GRATiTUDE
Content: All your life, you use the words Thank You.
Content: Right from childhood, you are taught to say
Content: Thank You. By the time we grow into adults,
Content: it has become a part of us. We use the words
Content: mechanically, in a businesslike way.
Content: The words Thank You rarely carry the
Content: emotion that they are supposed to: gratitude.
Content: In fact, we base our whole life on the
Content: opposite emotion: expectation. In
Content: our relationships, we demand love. In society, we
Content: demand attention. From ourselves, we
Content: demand better and better performance. And
Content: from God, we demand everything that no
Content: one else can give us!

Content: We keep on asking, demanding - without giving thanks for what we already have.
Content: Gratitude is not some kind of morality that is imposed upon you.
Content: It is a basic principle for your own happiness!
Content: As long as you keep wanting, you are under the control of external events.
Content: When you live in gratitude, no one or nothing else can touch your happiness

Content: GRATITUDE CAN CHANGE YOUR BODY LANGUAGE
Content: When we work with expectation all the time, we will carry a subtle violence in our body language. It is not deliberate violence, but inherent violence. If we become a little sensitive to our body language, we will be able to catch this.
Content: With gratitude, your entire body language changes. When you start experiencing deep gratitude, your responses to situations change. You start resonating with Existence. Your body will flow with that resonance, with a cool grace and softness.
Content: All your actions will arise out of this grace.

Content: It is an unfulfilled action on your part that pulls you again and again to fulfill it.

Content: In order to fulfill and exhaust all such karmas that we have accumulated, we take birth again and again on this planet. Just by being with the energy of gratitude, these karmas get burnt! All the karmas, anything which you carry on; which you brought, which you are accumulating, anything can be burnt
Content: A simple remembrance of gratitude; not only to the Master, to every being, to everything, it brings so much of sensitivity. It brings so much of love and so much of settled feeling, so much of connected feeling. It can burn away all your karmas. Such is the power of gratitude.

Content: The whole of existence is an auspicious happening. Nothing that happens in existence is inauspicious. Everything is only a blessing. You are a part of existence, so everything happening around you is also auspicious. When we understand this we will not complain about life. When we realize this everything appears extra ordinary to us.

Content: Everything appears as a miracle. Miracles are continuously happening in front of our eyes, but we continuously miss them because of this our lives becomes dull. You will never be able to realize or understand yourself until you accept yourself and celebrate what you are.
Content: We carry two identities within ourselves. One is outer world identity, what we present to the world. The other is the inner world identity, what we believe we really are. The outer world identity will always be much more than who we really are.
Content: 2020 Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam. All Rights Reserved
Page 31
Content: The inner world identity will usually be much lesser that what we actually are. Our whole life is nothing but the struggle between these two identities If you celebrate whatever you are you can stop this struggle. If you continuously use your to logic to analyze and judge and try to bring things under control; you will miss the whole thing. Just accept and celebrate existence with all its different dimensions and paradoxes.

Content: Don't judge anything. Every incident raises our intelligence, raises our frequency of consciousness. All we need to do is look at the world as a story, as an intelligent mystery. If we approach the suffering with acceptance and intelligence, suddenly you will see that the very suffering gives you enlightenment. It adds joy and experience to your life.

Content: INTRODUCTION
Content: The main reason why we miss experiencing gratitude is that we take everything for granted. Others do things for us out of love, as a kind gesture; but we take these things for granted.
Content: Each individual plays an equal part in our life; no one should be taken for granted. We take our parents, our friends as granted and we think whatever we receive from them is our birth right. This thought prevents us from expressing gratitude towards them. There are people who are born with deficiencies or are differently able, but we have everything. Yet we take it all for granted.

Content: When we see things with gratitude we become one with the galaxy and our inner space expands like a galaxy. When we take things for granted, appreciation will never come spontaneously to us.
Content: We always take relationships for granted. Learn to treat every individual as a part of the whole and feel gratitude towards him or her. Your response to recognize the abundance of existence is being thankful. It happens as causeless flowering within us.

Content: Gratitude is the best service rendered to oneself. Our focus merges me to the oneness. When focus merges me to the oneness. When you are able to look at things with a wonder filled attitude and awe you will be simply resonating with your heart.
