The fiftieth birthday of Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji

 

 “The beauty in human life is to be grateful and thankful. Offering thanks and gratitude not only makes a person humble but it helps us deal with ego nicely. Humility is the very foundation of spirituality. We should always be grateful to God and God’s creation, and we should offer this loving gratitude to our parents, family members, and, above all, humanity. Let us also never forget to be grateful for all the saints, sages, and divine incarnations of all times, places, and religions. We should extend this feeling of gratitude to everyone we come across in our lives and offer our humble thanks to all of them.   

 

 

 

Remember: God did not give you this life to live only for yourself; He gave you this life to love and serve humanity. The beauty of life does not come from selfish living; the real beauty manifests in caring and sharing with others. We have not come to this world to just live as animals ordinarily do, fulfilling sensory needs and desires; we have come to live with love, compassion, and understanding — and to help make God’s creation a better one. We all are children of God and we should live in that spirit, day and night, with every breath.”
