About the topic:

The first thing we need to understand is that no person has taken birth only to serve us. Every other person is also on the path of life just as we are. Each individual plays an equal part in life. The problem is that somewhere we feel people are waiting to hurt us. It is only our own insecurity which we project on others. We have a self defense mechanism which causelessly plays in every relationship. It is driven with the thought that others are waiting to hurt us. This very mechanism will disappear when gratitude flowers. Whenever you feel truly grateful to the people in your relationships, you will never try to possess them. You will look at them as beautiful individuals and leave it at that. Possessiveness happens only when you think of the other person as an object and not as an individual. With gratitude, you will allow the person to have his or her own space.

Decide consciously that you will respond with pure love and gratitude. Automatically you will start seeing each and every person as a unique creation of existence. You will feel deeply connected to everyone and everything around you. You will feel tremendous compassion towards everything around you. If you are a person who gets angry easily, you will find the anger disappearing. All the energy that was invested in other negative emotions will be released with this growing realization.

Assessment:

• Have you ever thanked your father for providing you with so many things?
• Have you ever thanked your mentor/teacher for helping you?
• Have you ever thanked your sisters or brothers for helping you?
• How will we look at our relationship with others when we have gratitude?

• What happens when we decide to respond with pure love and gratitude?
