OUvayyar The gratitude shown will return back oneday as waiting for the reasonable time, cocunut tree retgurns back the water so sweet, which you fed to it K Rajaram IRS 3924 ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Capt. Ravi Mahajan <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 3 Sept 2024 at 02:23 Subject: UNEXPRESSED GRATITUDE To: *UNEXPRESSED GRATITUDE* Just fill your heart and mind with gratitude for the one who has provided you with so many things of joy and happiness. Just close your eyes and think. Umpteen! Isn’t it! The fresh air you are breathing, life-giving water, delicious fruits and vegetables, energy giving sunrise and enchantingly beautiful sunset, relationships & the list is endless. Even when someone gives us a glass of water, we thank the person. Prayer is like saying THANKS to the provider of all these things. His kindness and benevolence will always be there for us to enjoy, cherish and relish. Even when we don’t Thank Him or do not recognize His existence, we keep getting what everyone gets, since He does not differentiate between believers and non-believers, theists or atheists and treats everyone alike. Unexpressed gratitude is like wrapping a gift for someone loving but not giving it. Prayer is that expression of gratitude. In olden times, When we left our home, parting words from our parents were, *“beta, chithi likhte rehna” (son, keep writing letters)*. Nowadays they may say “stay in touch”. For the children of God, which we are, prayer is like writing home every day. Since, life is a complex mixture of two elements, Physical body and spirit or Atman, we clean our physical body by taking bath, putting on fresh clothes, feeding it, and exercising to stay fit. Same way, our inner core, spirit or Atman, also needs cleansing. Provide this cleansing of spirit by staying connected with your creator through prayer and remembering Him always. *Capt.
