Gratitude - It is you who open all the closed doors and allow the
saving Grace to enter
“And yet, of all movements, the one that perhaps gives
the most joy—an unalloyed joy, untainted by egoism - is spontaneous gratitude.
It is something very special. It isn't love, it isn't self-giving. It is a very
full joy. Very full. It is a very special vibration unlike anything other than
itself. It is something that widens you, that fills you, that is so fervent! Of
all the movements within the reach of human consciousness, it is certainly the
one that draws you most out of your ego…. When you can enter this vibration in
its purity, you realise immediately that it has the same quality as the
vibration of Love: it is directionless. .. . Ultimately, gratitude is only a
very slightly coloured shade of the essential vibration of Love”
