(Whenever You read from Your diary, not only are the revelations so amazing, but it’s humbling to see that no matter how high You are, You always, always thank all the beings who help You. How can we learn to be this humble even with any small success, so that our ego doesn’t grow?) I don’t know. This I cannot teach you.
I’m just grateful even for the food I eat, the air I breathe, and for the rain water to use. Every convenience I have, every little thing I have, I thank all the time. It’s just natural for me to do that. I don’t know how to teach you.
I’m just grateful because I know there are people who are worse, who are worse off, the refugees, the poorer people. So, I don’t complain in my situation. Sometimes I’m, of course, disappointed or displeased because of some unpleasant treatment, not-good treatment measured toward me by anyone. I also feel disappointed, like “that person should have done better than that,” or “I do not deserve this.” But nevertheless, I’m always grateful that it’s not worse. That’s why I’m very happy to live in my hut. And I live a simple life, wear simple clothes at the moment. I’m the happiest person in this respect. Because I feel I have everything, and I’m in control of my physical life. Because I feel so rich. I’m so happy that I have rain water to use instead of chemical water. But if I have chemical water, then I’ll also be grateful that at least I have water to use. Yes, Master. Yes. But I’m just grateful all the time, because I know there are worse situations. There are people who endure worse, who have terrible lives, have been tortured, have been neglected, have been mistreated. Everywhere on this planet, and the animals as well, who have no voice to even call for help.
I’m grateful all the time, not just spiritually, but for every little thing I use. I don’t know, it’s just natural, okay? (Yes, Master.) So, if you feel like your life is lucky, then be grateful. Just thanking Heaven for whatever you feel lucky about. If you’re happy about something, then immediately thank Heaven, thank God for that happiness. If you’re healthy, then every day give thanks for your health. If you have a good friend, thank God for that, and if you have a bad friend, or bad person, then thank God that you are not that person. (Yes, Master.) Just try to thank, and then maybe later, it becomes natural. I cannot not thank. Just feel grateful, that’s why I thank. Every day, even three times a day at least, whenever I write down my spiritual points and check out my karma, I always thank. Always, “Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.” And that’s official, huh? And every time. I thank all the time.
