ABOUT THE TOPIC:
An important thing we need to understand is that desire and gratitude can never co-exist. When you feel one desire after another, it means that you are not living with gratitude, When you live with gratitude, you can never have any desires.
When you live with gratitude, whatever is given to you will simply fulfill whatever you need at that moment, that's all. Even before you ask, you will be given, so there will be no question of asking! Things are always perfect when you function with gratitude. Otherwise, things are always lacking and ugly.
Whether you want to base your life on asking, or on gratitude, is entirely up to you. Gratitude is not some kind of morality that can be imposed on you from outside. It is an attitude that has to flower within out of deep understanding of existence and its ways. When real gratitude happens, it can transform your whole perception of life and bring lasting peace and joy for you.
The only way to have a live connection with reality, with existence, is by dropping your conditioning, your ego and breaking the wall you have built around yourself; then you will be able to see that the connection was always there! You don't have to to do anything special; you simply have to drop what is not, that is all.
When you are loving and flowing with gratitude you will always feel the tremendous energy of existence flowing through you and you will always be with a sense of fulfillment, not because of any gains but because it has become your very being! This fulfillment is the ultimate fulfillment that every man is seeking, although he is not aware of it. He searches for it again and again through in all material things and keeps missing it.
