Gratitude and the Brain - Sri Bhagavan

"The best form of prayer is gratitude." ~ Sri Amma Bhagavan

The following is Sri Amma Bhagavan's message on World Gratitude Day, November 14, 2010:

"The hallmark of greatness is gratitude. Unfortunately, people do not have this within them. Lack of gratitude hinders growth. When observed carefully, every creature is indebted to this planet for all that it has received.

When a child is born, it owes its gratitude to the mother for feeding him/her. Then the child expresses gratitude to the father for the security he provides. As a student, he/she owes gratitude to the teacher for the knowledge and wisdom he/she received. One also owes gratitude for the knowledge of life experience received from the forefathers. Not forgetting to include plants, animals, and the whole of creation.

When one has the sensitivity to recognize these blessings, and when the heart dwells in gratitude, one realizes that this universe is bountiful, and every moment of his/her life is divinely guided by Grace. Given that, gratitude is the highest expression of emotion in humans, as it signifies the evolution of one's consciousness."
