\nThe gratitude-deer always runs the fastest,
\nAlways achieves the most,
\nAlways becomes the perfection-satisfaction
\nOf the highest
\nAnd
\nMost fulfilling and fulfilled
\nSupreme in us.<\/p>\n

\nGranted to us
\nBy the inner Pilot within us,

\nTo his own faith.<\/p>\n

A surrendered seeker
\nNever gets tired of offering his gratitude
\nTo his Lord divine.<\/p>\n

The Lord Supreme
\nNever gets tired of offering His Gratitude
\nTo His infinite Compassion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

14<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\n
Gratitude is not a mere word.
\nGratitude is not an idea.
\nGratitude is not even an ideal.
\nGratitude is our heart\u2019s
\nGod-satisfaction-promise
\nTo God Himself.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

15<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

\n

Thorns die,
\nRoses live.
\nHate dies,
\nLove lives.
\nDesire dies,
\nAspiration lives.
\nThe human in me dies,
\nThe divine in me lives.<\/p>\n

My gratitude-flames
\nIn the Heart of God
\nNever shall die.
\nEternally they breathe,
\nEternally they sport,
\nEternally they manifest
\nThe Supreme,
\nMy Supreme.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
