Foundational secret of success lies in gratitude….. this statement corroborated time and again by people around us. But, is that all which sums up this world sized term? Absolutely not, gratitude is an emotion which has to be befriended, before it can be applied.

GRATITUDE: An Attitude of thankfulness

A vibe: of Abundance

An urge: to Learn from tough patch

A policy: to Give

A Mission: to take nothing for granted.

When, I was yoked by rough situations in life, the only resolution I was suggested that to bank upon ‘positivity’. Well, this solution wasn’t miraculous, because Positivity, suo moto cannot take grip of life. Rather, it needs a platform to take off. Positive attitude needs a tool or a strategy to deal with life as it comes to you, and not by fabricating illusions. I, tried being positive and started ignoring the need of hour which demanded my action rather than constructing fancies about whimsical tomorrow. And, on failing innumerably I could figure incompleteness in the positive programme, I was following. So, on close examination I, seemingly touched simple yet beautiful revelation about life, which is: Life has situated all its treasure within the state of ‘Being Grateful’ which encapsulates everything like Inner Peace, Eternal happiness, ecstasy, positivity, et al.

Gratitude has to be construed with widest expanse, so as to take glimpse of the Real life. To start with, be thankful that you are alive: most precious gift, thankful for the beautiful ecosystem which makes your survival possible, thankful for opportunities around, thankful for capabilities in you; and this list of abundance is endless. Abundance around you shouldn’t be neglected by entirely focusing on what is missing in life. Ironically, we tend to ignore what we have for something what we don’t have!.

Why can’t we make best use of this state- of being alive, by loving: ourselves, people around us, environment, Earth, universe, entire cosmos! It’s just ‘Love’ which we have to emit from within, and ‘thankfulness’ for love we receive. It’s all about being grateful for what we have, and coping up every situation with an objective, i.e. to become a better ME.

Trust me! Go out, and feel the breeze embracing your beautiful face, whispering a melody of love in your ears; Be an audience to dancing trees and hopping leaves; treat your senses with the delight of nature. Then, you will believe in the magic of being GRATEFUL. Consequently, shedding all your fears, insecurities, negativities and facing every day with your best.

Make life worth living by gracing every breadth with GRATITUDE😇

“Wow….! I Love This….!”

I don’t have a count as if how many times a day I speak this word ‘Love’ or I use it in my daily communication. And the same thing happens with almost every individual. We speak or we don’t; directly or indirectly we do find ourselves in a moment – a perfect or astounding moment! And we say, “I found something, I Love”.But when we admire we have no idea that we will be bound to same thought for a second, a minute, an hour or day, or sometimes may be for many days but we did get bound to that perfect moment or thing which fulfills our desire for Love for meanwhile.

In so-called path of life, between all these moments, day by day, we keep running and keep ourselves busy doing our tasks, just with the belief in our mind, that ‘Yes! I will find what I desire for!! What I Love’. But of course, the reality is somewhat different. Even after trying hard and hard every time, we do understand that something is missing, something very obvious, but still, we stay ignorant to it. And this ignorance, make us believe what is not true, as our own definition of ‘Love’, that love is non-existing, irrespective of the fact that reality is not hidden, but very close yet we don’t understand.

So what is the reality and what is it that we need to know, to find ‘Love’?

Mr. Prem Rawat often says, “Love is what sunflower have for the Sun.” The Sunflower! Each day; No Sunday, No Monday…. No…. Each and every day, the Sunflower is ready, ready for its love, the Sun. It aligns itself with the Sun, and throughout the whole day, it will follow; and next day in that perfect moment when Sun rises, the Sunflower is ready again. And it’s not happening today or tomorrow, it has happened since ages, and will happen till ages to come, the Sunflower will always follow its nature of Love.

This is Love; it is not something temporary, it’s permanent. It is not conditional; it’s always and always unconditional. The very true nature of Love is it’s unconditional; it’s unbound to any, any limits and is always permanent.

We need to know this reality, that to understand Love, we first need to start from our own selves. Just like the Sunflower, we have to get ready each and every day, for our desire, for our Love. Start from yourself, your own life. We are blessed with the existence; and just because of this existence, everything around us exists for us. Thus, the first thing we can Love and appreciate is this existence. And then, just like that sunflower, raise yourself and be ready, be prepared for that perfect moment, for that beautiful moment. The truth is, as the Sun never let the sunflower down, you too will always be held with the true Love. This is the beauty of Love, for Love to fulfill your desire, you need to first start loving your own self, your existence, and everything around you will hold you as that flower in the petals, secured from outside dirt and rising ahead.

Know this truth, “Love!! In return, you will be Loved…!”

We human beings are very distinct and remarkable creations. We are unique and different from other creations because we have this peculiar organ brain and vast ocean of emotions within us since birth which makes us outstanding and noteworthy. These emotions are not taught to us but they are innate. These emotions just not make us different and unique but these emotions are the substructure of our extant. Attraction, Anger, Confusion, Envious, Hatred, Happiness, Sadness, Love, etc are some innate feelings in us.

LOVE is the most beautiful emotion among all of them. This Love is often confused as the adultery feeling which is about craving for one other particular person. It is always mistaken as a sense of attraction or obsession for somebody and mainly refers to attachment between two opposite genders. In this modern era, mainly everybody is so fascinated with the infatuation of opposite gender which later is interpreted as LOVE.

I am cognizant of the fact that Love is just not what the adults feel these days but it is that innate feeling which is unadulterated and the reason of provocation of our fate. It’s that pure sentiment which is incredibly wonderful! It is the highest desire which provokes us to seek fulfillment. Love is there so that every human being sees each other with respect, admiration and acclamation. And not just that even love prevails between animals.  It is the foundation of survival- it’s in the hug which we receive from siblings/friends, it’s in the praise which teacher/professor gives to his/her student, it’s in the petty fights we have with our near and dears, it’s in the whoop of every father, it is there when the cute puppy wags its tail, it is there when the pet birds’ chirp on the entry of their near ones.

Love is that feeling which helps to describe the sense of delightfulness to anyone, even to a stranger. Love helps us to acknowledge noteworthiness of others in our life. It is there in a baby of 1 month to an adult of 20 years or an old person of 75 years. In order to make others feel special and show them their importance in your life, love is the most delicate and marvelous medium.

This love is just not an inclination for individuals but it can be for objects and activities as well. Also I would like to mention here that this is not limited to living or non-living salutations but it can be for ourselves as well. There is no harm in loving oneself.  So as we all comprehend what LOVE actually is, the quintessence here lies that each one of us should adapt this beautiful emotion of Love and maneuver it in our existent.  This Love is the feeling which pioneer goodness in us and which further becomes the rudimentary ingredients of effective sustenance. Love is bliss.

All of us should commit to ourselves that we will spread this ultimate presentiment all around and hence can way toward the fulfillment. LOVE is explored in numerous poems, lyrics, and various artistic endeavors but only a little research and analysis of love has been done. This is an accepted mindset that Love is indefinable but I found it bizarre because for me it is the most satisfying and extraordinary experiences we can have as human beings. Love is just not an emotion; it is the elementary part of connection as well.

Generally, we pardon the blunders of our loved ones as well but we do not ignore or accept petty mistakes of people whom we don’t like or we don’t know. This readily explains that love is a feeling which makes us more calm, composed and tranquil. In almost every holy book it is written we are here on earth to make our lives successful, to attain salvation and other things are just secondary. So if we want to attain that divine culmination we need to adapt to the feeling of love which will eventually dislodge our amateurish practices.

I conclude with this that make LOVE as your convention and successively we will definitely be able to achieve that true happiness and will be able to give same happiness to others.

LOVE THYSELF!!
