If one gets good energy, it cannot be returned or paid back by saying ‘thank you’, or even stop it from flowing further. It has come for a reason, for your growth, there is some wisdom in it, and you have no right to halt it where it is by saying ‘thank you’ and ending the matter. If you think someone has done something good for you, done you a favour, then pass it on to others, meaning if someone comes to you, behave with him in the same nice manner; it is only by extending the same courtesy to others can you do justice to that energy… saying ‘thank you’ is meaningless. That is why in Hindi we use the words like ‘aabhar’ (आभार) – gratitude or ‘dhanyavaad’ (धन्यवाद ) instead.
If we had been channelizing energy in this manner, negative energy to the universe and flowing good energy further, world would not have come to this today.
Saying ‘okay thank you ’ to your teacher for having taught you, trained you…so something became of you …is not enough. We don’t realise it is not the teacher who has done anything for us, it is the Divine who wanted to enhance you for some reason, for you to be skilled. Now you enhance others. If what you get from others is not desirable, manifest it into a beautiful vision, or direct it to the Infinite. But you have no right to block the flow of energy by saying thank you and sitting on it, assuming you job is done. You have it flow it on further.
Be in gratitude for everything. During the exams time, the rickshaw-wala – or the person who drove you to the examination hall is as important because if he does not bring you to the exam venue on time, no matter how much preparation you had done it would not have mattered. There is chain of people who helped you get where you are today. Can you turn around and tell your parents ‘thank you for bringing us up, you did not do us a favour, everyone does it, what is the big deal?’ No, you flow that energy further to you own children, in case you don’t have your own, then you must extend it towards children around you.
Seeker: But what if I want to express how thankful I am?
Sometimes you say ‘thank you’ spontaneously, that’s fine, perhaps that is because you think it is the only language the person will understand. But otherwise, you need to express your gratitude not by artificial usage of words, ‘O thank you sooo much’ but through your gestures — ‘so nice of you to help me’, ‘I am so grateful’. Saying ‘thank you’ otherwise is if you are snubbing someone. Thank you, that’s it. We are done now. Or ‘sorry’, here I have apologised, now let me go.
Thank you or sorry are words that limit your aura, prevent it from extending further. There is no ‘apnapann’ (अपनापन) or sense of belonging in it.
If you are really in gratitude to others for their help, every cell of your body will feel that and gratitude is for life long. You might have used the word ‘thankyou’ millions of times, but are you in gratitude of someone?
A loveful gesture or at the first instance help that person, enhance that person that is the way to go.
