The world we live in is interconnected. Everyone and everything is connected to each other everywhere and at all times. Existence is not isolation but coexistence. Every thought prompts an action and every action has a reaction, reflection and resound.
A mere thought sets up a chain of events and triggers a series of actions, reactions and Interactions. When you combine the thoughts of 7 billion people living on this planet we simultaneously create beauty, harmony, chaos and conflict.
That is how the Game of Life is played in perpetuity. We often ignore the beauty and harmony to focus on chaos and conflict. Our mind naturally gravitates towards negativity and the resultant thoughts further exacerbate the chaos and conflict on our planet.
The Game can end only when everyone becomes thoughtless. Imagine a world where we are devoid of thoughts? Surely, it is not going to happen anytime soon. So, what can we do in the meanwhile.
How about if we start to appreciate the beauty and harmony in the world. Imagine if we were to replace all this negativity with gratitude for all we have and receive every moment. The world will transform itself into a place of Truth (Satyam), Auspiciousness (Shivam) and Beauty (Sundaram).
Let us express our gratitude for the air we breathe, the food we eat, the ground on which we stand, sit and sleep, the house we live in, the job that gives us our livelihood, the clothes we wear, the books we read, etc. etc… Gratitude to all the plants, animals, insects, flowers, trees, clouds, sky and water.
Gratitude to the farmer, baker, cook, doctor, author, builder, tailor, etc. Gratitude to all governments, nations and people for being together. Gratitude to our Parents, Gurus and God for giving us this birth and the understanding that we are divine. Gratitude to all the friends who make life beautiful.
If our lives become full of gratitude and we thank all that is there for us and thank all those who provide all that we have, we shall always experience abundance, harmony and joy. So, why wait to become thoughtless instead why not change the thoughts to be full of gratitude.
I am grateful to all of you who receive this message for making me who I am. I AM because you ARE 🙏
Love, Light and Gratitude,
