Quotes on Gratitude

Only one quality can solve all your problems—everybody's problems—and that quality is called a gratitude-heart......Every day count the petals of your gratitude-heart and open another petal. If you want to name the petals, they are simplicity, sincerity, purity, humility and so on. Constantly offer your heart of gratitude. That is the only quality that will help everyone solve his problems and also run the fastest. Gratitude embodies all the divine qualities in God's creation.

(From The Inner World and The Outer World )

Gratitude is not a mere word.

Gratitude is not an idea.

Gratitude is not even an ideal.

Gratitude is our heart's

God-satisfaction-promise

To God Himself.

(From Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration Plants, part 193 )

Gratitude is a living reality. A seeker has to know that his most powerful capacity is gratitude. What God has is infinite Compassion and what we have is gratitude. God's gift to man is infinite Compassion and our gift to God is an iota of gratitude to be placed at His Feet. Gratitude-power can never be surpassed. It is the only satisfaction we can offer God. This is not because God needs our gratitude but because He needs ample opportunity to enter into us in a more effective way, and gratitude increases our heart's receptivity.

(From A God-Lover's Earth-Heaven Life )

Gratitude-key can open both

Earth's heart-door

And

Heaven's soul-door.
