Swami Mukundananda
How does gratitude bring me closer to God?
Noticing gifts draws you to God
Radha Ji and Shri Krishna are eager to bestow many gifts on us, but we take them for granted. Becoming more aware of the gifts shows us how merciful they are and makes us eager to go in their direction.
If we become more aware of the gifts we have received, we will automatically realize how merciful they are, and then we become eager to go in their direction.
