Words from the Master

People ask me, “Swamiji, what can we do for you in return to show our gratitude to you?”

I tell them, “The best that you can do for me in return is flower!” That is the best that you can do for me and the best that I can do for you. Understand that. When you internalize these words and make gratitude your Being, you have done a lot in return for me.

But one thing I can tell you: If you feel that you have to do something in return, do some service to society; help others. Help awaken others to the joy that you have discovered. Don’t do it out of ego or superiority. Do it for the love of sharing, for the joy of sharing. Give your full energy and enjoy doing it. It will become a joyful meditation for you and an awakening for them.

Every time you feel deep gratitude, you are actually in meditation. So just imagine if you are in gratitude forever! You are all the time in meditation.
