I always ask this question in my workshop to all the participants, “What do you think is the emotion closest to God Consciousness?” The answer I always get is Love, Peace, etc. To their surprise, when the image shown below is revealed to them, they all see Gratitude to be on top of the list closest to God Consciousness. The fun part is, they all resonate with it and say, “Yes, actually gratitude does feel like we are very close to God Consciousness ”   and this post is a by-product of some events that made me even more grateful for what I have in life.

One fine morning, I was sitting and having a chat with my father, who usually gets up before me. He said, “Vishal, do you know every morning I see one guy on the street carrying an aluminum box on his shoulders? There is some food item that he sells, and he collects cash worth 10-20 Indian rupees (not even 30 cents) per serving,” to which I said, “Oh! Really?” He said, “I don’t know what he sells, I could not recognize it, but I see he has a few buyers in your lane.”
