No!

So living itself is enough reason to be grateful.

When you give your thanks to Existence, remember all the people who have made your life what it is today.

Start with your parents - the people who gave you life. Pay your deepest gratitude to them. Ask their forgiveness for any wrong that you may have done them. In the same way, forgive them for any way in which they may have hurt you.

Forgive completely, feel only gratitude!

Now remember each person who has helped you in life - the doctors in the hospital where you were born, your teachers in school and college, your friends and relatives. Pay your gratitude to them all. Think of the strangers who have helped you - the farmers who grow your food, the weavers who weave your clothes. Thank them all. Even your enemies have played a role in your life, they have taught you something. Drop the anger. Drop the hatred. Forgive them and ask forgiveness. Do it with all your heart, with total sincerity! Have you thanked Existence for the beauties of nature? Have you thanked the sun for warming you every morning? Have you paid thanks for the water you drink? How many things we have forgotten to pay our gratitude for! Now you can do it. Give each and every one your thanks.

When you pay your thanks to all of Existence, also remember the enlightened masters who have made us aware of the joy of gratitude. The purpose of all enlightened masters, through the ages, has always been the same: they want to lift you into bliss, into Ananda. So the best way to thank them is – simply to be blissful!

Finally, pay your gratitude to the Sadguru, the master, for happening in your life.

The relationship with the master is the ultimate relationship. Existence itself has appeared in your life in the form of the master, so that you may break all your boundaries and merge joyfully into the Divine. Where can you find the words to thank the master enough? Just remain silent. Let your heart overflow with deep love and gratitude.

When the music stops, remain in silence for a while.

Remain in the attitude of gratitude and bliss.

For as long as possible, stay in silence. Turn your awareness inward and enjoy the peace and contentment within.

Cultivating a permanent attitude of gratitude and positivity can work wonders for your physical and emotional health.

With gratitude, you will see that Existence simply responds to you. Gratitude is your channel
