The Inner Sanctuary
The psychology of gratitude.
Notice the good. Name it. Let it grow.
See the divine in your mother, your father, your teacher, your guest.
मातृदेवो भव । पितृदेवो भव । आचार्यदेवो भव । अतिथिदेवो भव ।
mātṛdevo bhava · pitṛdevo bhava · ācāryadevo bhava · atithidevo bhava
Taittirīya Upaniṣad 1.11.2
The sun rose again.
Someone thought of you.
You had water, and a roof.
Count these. They count.
Gratitude in practice
- Write three good things, once or twice a week.
- Thank one person, specifically.
- Before eating, pause in thanks.
- At an altar: offer one flower for one blessing.
