Living Gratefully Is a Spiritual Practice for Higher Consciousness

Video Transcript

If we experience to what extent our grateful living…that means not just being grateful and saying thank you when something nice happens to us, but making this an attitude towards life, that gratefulness, that appreciation, that not taking for granted that everything is a gift. If we become aware to what extent gratefulness and grateful living make us more joyful in life — and everybody can try that out — then we want to share this joy with others. We have recently started a survey among very successful business people and one of the statements they feel comfortable with is “gratefulness gives me joy in life.” Gratefulness over taking things for granted gives me more joy, makes me more happy, increases the quality of my life. If, then it’s another question… since this is so, would you like to introduce this into your company, into your organization? And everybody says yes, of course. Most people spend the better part of the day at work. So there ought to be something that you can do there. And gratefulness is a real spiritual practice. You don’t have to add anything. So you can have spiritual practice at your workplace, in your work. Spiritual practice is so important because the only thing that increases our level of consciousness is spiritual practice. Otherwise, we can just hope that it will come by itself sooner or later. But spiritual practice has been shown to really measurably increase your consciousness. And we have to get to another level in a hurry because if we don’t we are in for a great deal of problems.
