Gratitude to the Source

It is good to be grateful to the source, to whomever brings you to your Path, not only to your relatives who may have brought you, but to somebody who shows you the Path. Many of you give talks. If somebody comes from your talk and becomes an excellent disciple, that person says, “He gave a talk and brought me to the Path.” Look at the source. It helps us so much when we express our gratitude.

If somebody shows me the way, then I shall be so grateful. Had he not shown me the way, then God knows when I might have found somebody to show me the way. He has played his role. That person is not the goal, but he has shown the way to the goal. That is something to be grateful for. Gratitude helps us to grow spiritually.

I am so happy that people are bringing seekers. They are doing such a divine service. If those seekers are sincere, they will express their gratitude. Gratitude helps us grow. Gratitude is a very good thing both to have and to express. Have gratitude. Always have gratitude to those who have helped us find our way.
