Gratitude Poems

by: Sri Chinmoy

 

Gratitude
Is at once
Beautiful
And
Fruitful. 

Gratitude 

Gratitude carries the message of Immortality
And enters into God's Heart
To see God's universal Satisfaction-Smile. 

~

My Gratitude Flames

Thorns die,
Roses live.
Hate dies,
Love lives.
Desire dies,
Aspiration lives.
The human in me dies,
The divine in me lives.

My gratitude-flames
In the Heart of God
Never shall die.
Eternally they breathe,
Eternally they sport,
Eternally they manifest
The Supreme,
My Supreme.

~ 

Gratitude

In the life of aspiration and dedication

The gratitude-deer always runs the fastest,

Always achieves the most,

Always becomes the perfection-satisfaction

Of the highest

And

Most fulfilling and fulfilled

Supreme in us.

Gratitude is not a human achievement.

Gratitude is a divine treasure

Granted to us

By the inner Pilot within us,

The Absolute Supreme.

 ~

Gratitude

A desiring man  

Never gets tired of offering his gratitude

To his own efforts.

An aspiring man

Never gets tired of offering his gratitude

To his own faith.

A surrendered seeker

Never gets tired of offering his gratitude

To his Lord divine.

The Lord Supreme

Never gets tired of offering His Gratitude

To His infinite Compassion.

Writings On Gratitude

We are grateful to God, for He is with us here and now. We are grateful to God, for He has created within us a genuine hunger for Him. We are grateful to God, for He has given us a long express train of hope. We are grateful to God, for He has repeatedly told us that He will keep His promise. What is His promise? His promise is that He will not be satisfied unless and until each creation of His satisfies Him in His own way.

Excerpt from Everest Aspiration Part 3 by Sri Chinmoy.

"A heart of continuous gratitude is the most difficult thing for a human being to offer to the Beloved Supreme."

When God fulfils your desire, you are all gratitude. When God does not fulfil your desire, if you can become all gratitude to Him, then God Himself is bound to come to you, not only to replace and fulfil your desire, but to give you what He has and what He is: Infinitude.

A gratitude-heart
Is to discover on earth
A Heaven-delivered rose.
