THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM

When we work with expectations 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. When you operate from your heart, you are always in gratitude. Gratitude is not any virtue. It has to be your very attitude.

It has to be your very attitude. Only when you feel gratitude you can tune yourself beautifully to existence and then existence will reveal to you its magical splendor.

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.

Each human being is a unique master piece. But we never feel that we are beautiful enough. We constantly compare ourselves with others and try to look like them. We never make our body feel it is beautiful. Our body is influenced by the thoughts we entertain about it. Every cell responds to our thoughts and feeling and about it.

If we feel gratitude towards our body, our body responds by improving our health. If we hate our body, the body responds by shrinking with disease. It is just like the effect of our thoughts on other human beings. There are people who are born blind.

There are people who are born without arms or legs. We have everything and yet we take it all for granted.

Sometimes people who have a physical handicap are more grateful than those who have a perfect body. The handicapped person knows what it is to miss a body part so he is automatically grateful to the other body parts
