Gratitude Update

Everyone in the universe is my friend.

Existence is too much my friend.

The universe is loving me too much.

Existence is helping me too much.

How can you repay a favor that cannot be repaid?

Just as for every illness there is a remedy, so for every disaster there is a reconstruction. Any effort, in whatever form and however small, made towards reconstruction or towards the betterment of conditions is worthwhile, but what we need most is the understanding of that religion of religions and that philosophy of philosophies which is self-knowledge. We shall not understand the outer life if we do not understand ourselves. It is the knowledge of the self that gives the knowledge of the world.
