The power of 2 words------''Thank you''


How many times, we utter these two words in a day  and that too from the bottom of the heart.  We say, but most of the time, very casually or as a matter of practice without making any eye to eye contact with the opposite person. Make a practice to use these two words frequently and give heartfelt wishes to everyone for everything whether small or big.  Indirectly, these two words are synonymous to  gratitude, which is one of the greatest qualities of any human life and it is this gratitude provides you a distinctive identity as far as your quality of nature is concerned. No doubt, this quality is an acquired syndrome and the more you practice, the more you will be able to enjoy a blissful life. Further, this quality is indispensable. The first gratitude you must show for your parents as they are the one who has given you this precious life. They are the one who has given you birth and brought you up sacrificing their own lives. The second gratitude you must show for your surroundings which include nature, air, water, nutrients and space without which your survival becomes a bottleneck.  The third gratitude you must show to all your organs because they are the parts of your body  to help you to accomplish all your tasks, desires, hunger, thirst and enjoyment. All organs of the body like hands, legs, or eyes  contribute very much to fulfill your wishes as and when you hunch for something.  The fourth gratitude you must show to your seniors, teachers, peers, friends and even your neighbors for different types of helping they are showering on you. At that point of time, if you use these two words with an impact of sincerity, the glow appears on their faces is beyond anyone’s imagination of feeling. 

 

The meaning and showing of gratitude start with your positive emotion and it implies that we must use all our resources happily with a reverence, sublime and spiritual feeling. On the contrary, if you ignore this power of two words deliberately or unwillingly, the real happiness will delude you from your life.  No doubt without uttering these two words also, you may lead a prosperous life, but that would be a life simply known as mechanical one without accruing any solace. 

 

As stated above, though it is an acquired syndrome, some people have this gratitude inbuilt in their nature. From their adolescence stage, they show respect, they extend their attitude of gratitude for all the services and help they get from others. Of course, in developing this particular habit, they get influenced by their parents, peers, teachers and seniors.

 

Apparently, it looks very easy to express these two words, but very many people are not able to express these two words because of their egoistic nature. Their nature is so influenced by their ego that most of the time; they are circumvallated by this unwanted trait of life.  Further, some  people are not at all interested to utter these words because they take it as their birthright to get services of others.  So, they feel that showing any gratitude is not at all mandatory.

 

The power of these two words is so strong that once you become attuned and addicted to use, you will be able to reach closure in your spiritual life.  Spiritual life does not mean that you have to detach from your family life, get rid of all worldly affairs and get busy only with visiting pilgrimage and performing pujas.   By expressing these words continually or even occasionally, of course with a deep sense of oneness with the other person at that particular time, you are able to connect your soul to the other person’s soul. Whenever you get some benefits from any person whether it is small or big, you follow this pattern of expression. By performing this habit on a continuous basis, you are able to confluence  your soul with another soul intimately, which ultimately qualifies you to achieve spiritual blessings from the Creator. Because for  the Creator, there is no difference between literate and illiterate, rich and poor, celebrities and ordinary men, he only likes your good gesture, humanity, humility and feeling for others

 

So, in short, the power of these two words will slowly take you from the realm of ordinary  and lackluster life to the path of spiritual life.
