I am Grateful. To Miz Bejabbers by Manatita.
To Miz: For your sweet smile and heavenly poise
“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”
I am grateful ...
I go to the world of sleep and beyond, while my Beloved shields me, with the passion of burning Love.
I am grateful …
Daily I rise to a virgin dawn, feel the prana in my Spirit; serve the various manifestations of Truth’s beauty and God’s Light.
I am grateful …
I can smell the fragrances of rhododendrons; see the sacrifices of Mother Earth, and acknowledge the unconditional brilliance of the Sun.
I am grateful …
My Mother’s sacrifice was unparalleled, and I grew in Joy and inner Delight.
I am grateful …
For I am not usually found wanting, neither for the body’s replenishments, service to others or love of Him.
I am grateful …
For He gave me the capacity to take up writing; to inspire my brothers and sisters: Mankind.
I am grateful …
For all my Hubber Friends, acquaintances and managerial staff, for you gave me the opportunity to manifest God’s visions; His dreams; to awaken the inner beauty of the Heart.
I am grateful …
Through His Grace, I am arriving at the sunset of an old Year, to be replaced by the dawn of a new Sunrise.
Finally, I remain eternally grateful to the Absolute, to my Master Teacher Sri Chinmoy; for all that I am and ever will be.
Happy Christmas, my Friends! May the birth of a New and promising Year 2015, bring us all abiding peace. OM Shanti!
-Manatita, 18th decenber, 2014.
My Gratitude Flames
Thorns die,
Roses live.
Hate dies,
Love lives.
Desire dies,
Aspiration lives.
The human in me dies,
The divine in me lives.
My gratitude-flames
In the Heart of God
Never shall die.
Eternally they breathe,
Eternally they sport,
Eternally they manifest
The Supreme,
My Supreme.
- Sri Chinmoy
