“Gratitude is the creative force, the mother and father of love. It is in gratitude that real love exists. Love expands only when gratitude is there. Limited love does not offer gratitude. Limited love is immediately bound by something- by constant desires or constant demands. But when it is unlimited love, constant love, then gratitude comes to the fore. This love becomes all gratitude.”
“Happiness is in contentment, gratitude, and love. It is a lifestyle, not a location.”
“When your heart's gratitude comes to the fore, when you become all gratitude, this gratitude is like a flow, a flow of consciousness. When your consciousness is flowing, feel that this gratitude-flow is like a river that is watering the root of the tree and the tree itself. It is always through gratitude that your consciousness-river will grow and water the perfection-tree inside you.”
“Love of God is pure when joy and suffering inspire an equal degree of gratitude.”
“...for love casts out fear, and gratitude can conquer pride.”
“Love isn't based on gratitude. Respect isn't based on debt.”
