SYNOPSIS: We must cultivate the habit to thank GOD in all circumstances. When we learn to visualize GOD’s kindness in all circumstances, then we always start thanking GOD from our heart. READ THE FULL ARTICLE BELOW -

We must always make a habit in life to thank GOD. In life, we thank a particular person, but we forget to thank our Supreme Father.

For all favorability, the first thanks must be given to GOD. For all unfavorableness, which we are able to withstand, we must thank GOD for giving us the power to withstand it. GOD enhances the favorability and decreases the unfavorableness and hence He must be thanked for it.

Like in distress when we receive help from some particular person we must have the vision to see the hidden Holy Hands of GOD, then only thanks will come out truly from our heart for GOD. GOD had clearly said in Shrimad Bhagavad Geetaji that it is He who gives everyone everything, someone can become a mediator but the giver is only GOD. Therefore, true thanks must always emerge from our heart only for GOD.

The first thanks to GOD must be given for health because he knows the importance of health who is ill. One who is ill and bedridden for full time and is hoping for recovery knows what illness is and how difficult it is spending time in the bed moving his body from one posture to another. We are healthy and are able to take the next breath and therefore GOD must be thanked for the same.

If the next breath does not come we will die instantly. If the next breath does not come to the husband then even a wife who had stayed with him for the last 60 years, leaves his corpse. The body which stayed for 60 years, no one keeps it even for 6 hours. Therefore, for each breath, GOD must be thanked.

The ill person must also thank GOD because there are persons who are more ill than him. Whoever has a problem with eyes must thank GOD for all his other body parts which are functioning normally.

When we see a person more severely ill than us, we are able to understand that our problem is not so miserable. We only think of it and stop there but we forget to thank GOD. In such a situation we must offer our sincere gratitude to GOD.

The best way to thank GOD is to visit the ICU of any Government hospital every month. When we see ill people there we can easily make our mind to thank GOD for keeping our wellness. Once we make up our mind we will form a habit to thank GOD. Then we will form a habit to correlate all instances with GOD and to thank GOD and give Him the credit for all favorable things.

After health, the next thanks must be given to GOD for making food available. The third thanks must be given for giving us clothing. The fourth thanks must be given for providing a roof and shelter. Just see the misfortune of those who due to ill deeds of past births do not get food two times, who do not have adequate clothes and who spend the night amidst open sky without any shelter.

For health, for food, for clothing and for shelter, we must thank GOD. But we must not stop here. In all episodes, in all favorable and unfavorable situations, we must visualize GOD’s kindness and must form a habit to thank GOD. When we form a habit to thank GOD in life knowingly or unknowingly we will come across so many instances, so many reasons for thanking GOD that we will be mesmerized.

The requirement is just to develop the vision to visualize GOD’s kindness. In all episodes, in all favorability, in all unfavorableness if we develop the art to search for GOD’s kindness and if we learn this art we will constantly offer thanks to GOD in life. By doing so, we will be able to make our human life successful.

By freeing us from a difficult position in the mother’s womb, by showering parental love through the mother, by sending nectar-like milk in mother’s breast and similarly from birth to death in uncountable instances, we must be able to visualize GOD’s kindness and for all such instances, we must thank GOD.

When giving thanks to GOD becomes a habit then our human life becomes successful.
