Gratitude
When I indicate the beneficialness of Gratitude, I do not mean that someone is in need of it but that it contains in itself the chemism of bliss. One must analyze the chemism of various emotions; such observations will help in finding the psychic energy. (FW I, 396)
When We speak of gratitude it is certainly not because We are in need of it, but by this We try to strengthen the bond once more. (HIER, 388)
Gratitude is one of the main qualities of justice. Without justice one cannot reach the path of Great Service. Therefore, in pointing out the necessity for the realization of gratitude, We only assist the Great Service. How beautiful is gratitude! It so easily kindles the fire of the heart, and, as if in the presence of the Image of the Lord, it fills the spirit with nobility. The ingrate is, first of all, ignoble... One should especially develop gratitude, because gratitude is the sister of loyalty. (HIER, 182)
